1935 Map of Borah Peak

About this map

Borah Peak stands as the dramatic centerpiece of this mid-1930s survey, marking the high point of a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Pahsimeroi River and the Big Lost River. The map captures a high-desert and alpine transition where ranching and forestry dictated the settlement patterns of central Idaho. Scattered outposts such as the Doublespring Ranch and Elkhorn Ranch appear alongside remote community hubs like Goldburg Sch and Big Creek Sch, illustrating the reach of rural education in this period.
