2004 Map of Big Creek
USGS Topo · Published 2007About this map
The Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness dominates this map, where the high mountain terrain of the Payette National Forest meets the administrative and industrial markers of the early 21st century. This area, straddling the Idaho and Valley County line, was historically defined by its mineral wealth and remote access. Mining history is preserved through labels for the Golden Hand Mine, Werdenhoff Mine, and Golden Cup Mine, indicating a landscape once busy with prospecting. A critical node in this backcountry is Big Creek, supported by the Big Creek Guard Sta and a dedicated Landing Strip, which together signal the essential role of aviation and forest management in this roadless interior. Significant topographical landmarks like Ramey Ridge and Mosquito Ridge frame the drainage basins of Smith Creek and Beaver Creek.
