1937 Map of Big Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Edwardsburg settlement and its adjacent Landing Field serve as the hub for this high-elevation backcountry, where the boundary between Idaho County and Valley County is defined by sharp peaks and ridgelines. Surveyed in the mid-1930s, the map reveals an economy driven almost entirely by remote mining operations and forestry. A series of deep-woods outposts including Hand Cabin, Mahan Cabin, and Estep Cabin are connected by the Smokehouse Trail and other primitive routes, suggesting a landscape of seasonal residency for prospectors and forest rangers. Hard-rock mining efforts are evident at the Werdenhoff Mine, Independence Mine, and the Goldman Cut, located near significant terrain features like Wolf Fang Peak and Mt Eldridge. The drainage systems of Big Creek and Logan Creek provide the primary corridors through this complex topography, punctuated by alpine landmarks such as Logan Lake and Fish Lake.
