1973 Map of Teapot Mtn

About this map

The South Fork Salmon River carves a deep path through this portion of the Payette National Forest, dictating the location of forest infrastructure and recreational sites in the 1970s. The Krassel Ranger Sta and a nearby Gaging Station serve as central points for administration and monitoring along the waterway. Access to this backcountry terrain is facilitated by the Reed Ranch Landing Strip and another unnamed landing strip, which complement a network of trails such as the Sixmile Pack Trail and the Jakie Jeep Trail. Numerous campgrounds, including Krassel Creek Campground, Salmon Point Campground, and Buckhorn Campground, are situated on river bars and near creek confluences. Significant landmarks like Teapot Mtn, Eagle Rock, and Rainbow Ridge define the vertical relief, while a Radio Tower atop a high point marks the reach of mid-century communication technology.
