About this map

Boiling Springs and its namesake Forest Service station anchor this 1988 survey of the Idaho backcountry. Located within the Boise National Forest, the area is defined by the thermal activity at Silver Springs (Hot) and the course of the Middle Fork Payette River. The map reveals a network of high-elevation landmarks, from the prominence of Rattlesnake Point to the dramatic divide of Bulldog Ridge and Lightning Ridge.

Remote outposts such as the Silver Creek F.S. Station and various Gaging Stations indicate the importance of water management and forest oversight in this terrain. Hikers and researchers can trace the connection between Boiling Springs Campground and more secluded spots like Lodgepole Springs and Onion Valley. The inclusion of Trail Creek Summit provides a key navigational point between the river drainage and the surrounding valleys.
