1966 Map of Tincup Mtn

About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape at the border of Bonneville and Caribou Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage systems, where Tincup Creek and Jackknife Creek carve through the peaks. Human enterprise in this mid-century wilderness is evidenced by the Squaw Creek Sawmill (Site) and a complex system of Pack Trails that provided the only passage through the mountains. High points like Old Baldy Peak, Bald Mountain, and Black Mountain overlook deep ravines such as Skull Canyon and Luthi Canyon. The naming of local watercourses like Haderlie Creek and Hubler Creek suggests a landscape shaped by early ranching and homesteading families who navigated this corner of Idaho before the era of modern road development.
