1972 Map of Bear River

About this map

The Boise National Forest dominates this topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by the deep drainage of the North Fork Boise River. In the early 1970s, this area served as a critical corridor for backcountry access, evidenced by the network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that wind through the timbered slopes. The map captures the boundary between Boise Co and Elmore Co, tracing a line through the high country where numerous tributaries like Steamboat Creek and Hunter Creek converge on the main river valley.
