1969 Map of Big Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Golden Hand Mine and the Werdenhoff Mine punctuate this high-altitude landscape within the Payette National Forest, reflecting the lode mining activity that once defined these remote ridges. The 1969 field-checked data captures a transition between the area's prospecting history and its role as a recreational and administrative hub. Along the valley floor, the Big Creek settlement features a Ranger Station, Campground, and a critical Landing Strip serving the backcountry. High-elevation landmarks like Ramey Ridge and Pueblo Summit overlook a dense network of watercourses, including Beaver Creek and Smith Creek, while various Pack Trails provide the only overland access between isolated outposts like Hand Camp and the Mahan Cabin. This survey is a detailed record of the rugged intersection where Idaho and Valley Counties meet amidst the drainage of the West Fork and Little Big Creek.
