About this map

Atlanta sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the high-elevation wilderness where the Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by the steep drainage of the Middle Fork Boise River, which receives numerous tributaries including Greylock Cr and Mattingly Cr. Geothermal activity is a prominent characteristic of the area, evidenced by the Atlanta Hot Springs and Chattanooga Hot Spring, both located near the river's path.

Historical mining and recreation patterns are visible through features like Quartz Gulch and the Powerplant Cg. Notable summits such as Blizzard Mtn and Greylock Mtn tower over the river valley, while high-country water bodies like Leggit Lake and Ross Fork Lakes occupy the eastern reaches. The map also traces established routes like the Alturas Lake-Mattingly trail and the Flint-Decker Loop, reflecting the area's long-standing use for both resource extraction and backcountry travel.
