1972 Map of Barber Flat

About this map

North Fork Boise River and its confluence with various mountain tributaries define this segment of the Boise National Forest during the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by a network of historic access routes, including the Hungarian Pack Trail and numerous unnamed jeep trails that navigate the steep terrain of the Boise Ridge. In the river valleys, the map identifies specific recreational and administrative sites such as the Barber Flat Forest Service Station and the Black Rock Campground. A notable geothermal feature, Springs (Hot), is located near the Middle Fork Boise River, suggesting the long-standing use of this area for both resource management and backcountry exploration. Small-scale industrial history is hinted at by a Prospect located along the creek drainage west of Barber Flat.
