1967 Map of Baugh Creek

About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest landscape in central Idaho is defined by a dense network of high-elevation drainages and remote mountain access routes as they appeared in the late 1960s. The Little Wood River serves as the primary artery through this rugged terrain, fed by numerous tributaries including Baugh Creek, Hailey Creek, and Chicken Creek. For historians and explorers, the map reveals the early infrastructure of the backcountry, featuring a Mine located near Porcupine Creek and an extensive network of pack trails and jeep trails that navigate the ridges between Fisher Canyon and Muldoon Creek. The distribution of named springs and seasonal draws like Dry Draw and Brown Spring Cr illustrates the vital water sources required for early ranching or mining activities within these forest boundaries.
