1960 Map of Ulysses Mtn

About this map

Ulysses and the Indianola Ranger Station serve as primary points of human activity along the Salmon River within the Salmon National Forest. This 1960 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its mining heritage and river-bound logistics, most notably seen at the Ulysses Mine and Kitty Burton Mine nestled along the steep drainages of Kitty Creek and Brushy Gulch. The transport network of the era relies heavily on the river's path, featuring a Cable Crossing and the Deadwater Picnic Area near the confluence with Moose Creek. Away from the water, the terrain rises sharply toward Ulysses Mtn and Stormy Peak, giving way to high-elevation clearings such as East Boulder Meadow and Racetrack Meadow. Geologists and local historians can trace the distribution of early mining Tailings and numerous unnamed Prospect sites that mark the era's industrial footprint across the Salmon River Mountains.
