1964 Map of Sunbeam

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Bonanza stands as a focal point of this mid-century survey, situated near the confluence of the West Fork Yankee Fork and the main Yankee Fork. The landscape is defined by its mining history and the recreational utility of the Challis National Forest, where numerous sites like the Flat Rock Campground and Dutchman Flat Campground line the riverbanks. The presence of the Lucky Boy Mine and various other unnamed Mines suggests the area's continued reliance on mineral extraction alongside burgeoning forest management, represented by the Bonanza Guard Station. To the south, the Salmon River cuts through the terrain, passing through Indian Riffles and by the Sunbeam Hot Springs. This map effectively documents the transition from a remote mining district to a regulated national forest, preserving locations like Preachers Cove and several small cemeteries that speak to the region's earlier settlement period.
