2017 Map of Atlanta West

About this map

Atlanta and its surrounding mining-district landscape are the focus of this 2017 survey, where the Middle Fork Boise River cuts through the high country of the Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. The map documents a geography defined by its extractive history and remote access, with Quartz Gulch and Big Gulch flanking the townsite while the Atlanta Airport provides a critical link to this mountain interior. The drainage network is complex, featuring the Yuba River and Little Queens River, alongside various spurs like China Basin Spur E that reach into the drainages of China Basin. To the southwest, the terrain rises toward James Creek Summit, while Black Warrior and Hot Creek indicate the varied natural features of the Elmore County backcountry. This contemporary update tracks the established forest road network, including the primary Atlanta Road and high-elevation routes like Snowline, detailing how this historic mining hub integrates with its protected wilderness surroundings.
