About this map

Cache National Forest contains a complex network of canyons and high-altitude springs captured during this 1969 field check. The landscape is defined by the Left Fork Blacksmith Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Elk Valley Creek and Rock Creek. This area was a focal point for localized resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of the Lucky Star Mine and nearby Cabin Spring.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific family-named landmarks and livestock-related sites like Warrens Spring, Mosslander Spring, and the oddly named Sow Hole and Boar Hole. The distribution of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails connecting features like Squaw Flat and Marie Spring illustrates the era's backcountry navigation and land use before more modern developments altered these remote corridors.
