About this map

Atlanta and its immediate surroundings are defined by the convergence of steep alpine drainages and the Middle Fork Boise River. This 2011 survey details a landscape where recreation and remote infrastructure dominate, featuring the Atlanta Airport and several access points for wilderness travel like the Riverside Campground and Queens River Campground. The mapping reveals a complex network of seasonal roads and trails, including China Basin Rd and James Creek Rd, which provide passage through the high-elevation terrain.

Waterways are central to the geography here, with the Yuba River joining from the south and numerous tributaries like China Fork and Black Warrior Creek carving out the gulches. High points such as James Creek Summit overlook a region shaped by its mining history, evidenced by names like Quartz Gulch and Quartz St. The map captures the settlement's footprint just before the modern era, showing how it remains tied to the river systems and the rugged pathways of the Sawtooth range.
