2020 Map of Atlanta West

About this map

Atlanta and its surrounding wilderness define this high-elevation landscape where the Boise National Forest meets the Sawtooth National Forest. The settlement is situated at the confluence of several steep drainages, including Quartz Gulch and Big Gulch, north of where the Middle Fork Boise River winds through the valley. Access to this remote area is primarily via Atlanta Road, while the Atlanta Airport provides a critical aviation link for the community. The topography is marked by a complex network of canyons and gulches, such as Camp Gulch and China Basin, which have historically driven the development of local transport routes like China Basin Spur B and Yuba River Spur A. For researchers, the map details the rugged ascent toward James Creek Summit and the numerous named tributaries of the Yuba River and Queens River.
