About this map

The Salmon River cuts through this high-altitude landscape in the Salmon National Forest, defining a corridor of activity within a steep mountain environment. Mining history is prominent on the eastern slopes of the quadrangle, where the Kitty Burton Mine and Ulysses Mine are located near the settlement of Ulysses. These sites, along with landmarks like Ulysses Mountain and Bald Mountain, illustrate the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction and its rugged isolation.

Along the riverbanks, the Indianola FS Station and a Heliport serve as focal points for forest management and emergency access. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the terrain, from Indian Creek to Squaw Creek, and identifies specific landmarks like the Cable Crossing and Indianola FS Station. This 1991 provisional edition provides a detailed look at the resource-rich landscape and its essential infrastructure before modern developments shifted the character of these mountain drainages.
