1973 Map of Big Chief Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Boise National Forest in central Idaho was a hub of remote backcountry activity during the early 1970s, as documented in this survey of the Salmon River Mountains. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Big Chief Creek and Pistol Creek, where high-altitude ridges like Big Baldy Ridge and Papoose Ridge separate the steep drainage basins. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is visible at the Springfield Mine, where identified Tailings sit near Springfield Creek, alongside several unnamed Prospect sites scattered across the mountain faces.
