About this map

The settlement of Atlanta anchors this portion of Elmore County, situated at the confluence of several mountain drainages and the Middle Fork Boise River. This region is defined by its deep mining heritage, evidenced by the clustered locations of the Monarch Mine, Minerva Mine, and Tolache Mine along the western slopes. These extraction sites are linked by a network of forest roads like 208 and 207, which traverse the high-elevation terrain near Greylock Mountain and Blizzard Mountain.

Water and geothermal features are central to the landscape, from the Greene Tree Dam to the Atlanta Hot Springs and Chattanooga Hot Spring. The drainage patterns of Montezuma Creek and Flint Creek show how the topography dictated early industrial access. To the east, the map captures the headwaters of the South Fork Ross Fork and the isolated alpine environment around Ross Fork Lakes and Leggit Lake.
