1973 Map of Stibnite

About this map

Mining operations and remote settlements define this high-elevation landscape in the Idaho backcountry during the early 1970s. The settlement of Stibnite serves as a central hub for the area’s industrial activity, surrounded by the extensive infrastructure of the Yellow Pine Mine, North Tunnel Mine, and Meadow Creek Mine. This survey documents a complex network of resource extraction, including prominent tailings and mine dumps near Cinnabar Peak. The presence of the Meadow Creek Landing Field and numerous Jeep Trails underscores the logistical challenges of operating in the steep drainages of the East Fork South Fork Salmon River.
