1970 Map of Boardman Creek

About this map

Lightfoot Hot Springs and the South Fork Boise River anchor this 1970s topographic study of the Idaho backcountry. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Soldier Mountains and the Sawtooth National Forest, where a network of trails provided the primary access for recreation and industry. Unlike many western surveys of this era that show expanding road networks, this map highlights the prominence of the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, reflecting a period when remote wilderness preservation and seasonal access were paramount.
