1960 Map of Ulysses Mtn

About this map

Ulysses Mine and the nearby Kitty Burton Mine anchor this high-altitude landscape within the Salmon National Forest, showing the traces of early mining operations in the Salmon River Mountains. The settlement of Ulysses and the Indianola Ranger Station serve as primary human markers along the winding Salmon River, which is noted by river miles such as Mile 221 and Mile 235. The topography is defined by significant summits including Ulysses Mtn, Stormy Peak, and Napoleon Hill. A network of Jeep Trails and standard trails connects remote drainages like Virginia Gulch and Arrastra Gulch, reflecting a time when access to these steep Idaho canyons was primarily dictated by mining prospects and forest management rather than paved thoroughfares. The inclusion of features like Deadwater Spring and Racetrack Meadow provides specific landmarks for those tracing the history of land use in Lemhi County.
