1965 Map of Stewart Peak

About this map

Star Valley defines the western edge of this 1960s survey, where the valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Bridger National Forest. This transition is marked by the East Side Canal, which skirts the base of the mountains to manage water for the agricultural lands below. High above the valley, Stewart Peak and Prater Mountain anchor a landscape defined by deep drainages like Corral Canyon and Prater Canyon. Local genealogy and settlement history are grounded at the Etna Cem, located near the intersection of the valley plains and the mountain foothills. A network of trails, including several marked Pack Trails, provides the only access into the high country, crossing numerous watercourses such as Squaw Creek, Birch Creek, and the North Fork Murphy Creek. These paths reflect the region's enduring reliance on traditional backcountry travel routes during this era of forest management.
