1964 Map of Thompson Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey, capturing the rugged interior of Custer County where mining and forestry intersect. The topography is defined by the steep drainage basins of Thompson Creek and its many tributaries, including Buckskin Creek and Pat Hughes Creek. Along the southern edge, the Salmon River cuts through the canyon, providing a vital corridor for the settlement at Torreys and the unimproved roads that trace the riverbank. This map documents a landscape of resource extraction and fire surveillance, with the Custer Lookout standing watch over the northern ridges.
