1972 Map of Atlanta East

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Atlanta serves as the gateway to this high-elevation wilderness in the early 1970s, situated at the confluence of the Middle Fork Boise River and Montezuma Creek. The landscape is a study in industrial mining history transitioned into recreation, where the remnants of the Talache Mine, Monarch Mine, and Minerva Mine are interspersed with the thermal features of Chattanooga Hot Spring and Atlanta Hot Springs. Rugged topography is defined by Greylock Mountain and Blizzard Mtn, with narrow drainage basins like Quartz Gulch and Grays Creek carved into the granite. The transportation network is limited to a primitive Landing Strip, various pack trails, and jeep trails, reflecting a region still primarily accessible by foot or horse. Large portions of the terrain fall under the protection of the Sawtooth Nat Recreation Area and the Boise National Forest, highlighting the area's pivot toward conservation and seasonal use at sites like Powerplant Campground.
