1968 Map of Blue Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

California Trail and Applegate Trail corridors intersect the southern portion of this landscape, marking historic overland migration routes through the high desert. Recorded in the late 1960s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and springs within the Sawtooth National Forest. Significant water sources like Poulton Spring, Wilson Spring, and the geothermal Spring (Hot) are plotted along the northern canyons. These natural features, along with Coal Banks Spring and its associated Mine, highlight a history of livestock grazing and early mineral extraction. The map detail follows the path of Goose Creek as it winds through Big Canyon and past the distinctive height of Blue Hill, showing the complex topography and sparse jeep trails that characterize this remote Idaho backcountry during the mid-20th century.
