1963 Map of Brundage Mtn

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing the high-elevation terrain where Adams and Valley counties meet. The map reveals a landscape engineered for recreation and water management, centered around the significant reservoir at Goose Lake and the nearby Brundage Res. To the south, the early footprint of the Brundage Mtn Ski Area is visible, accompanied by a dedicated radio facility and a lookout station atop the peaks. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides access to remote alpine waters like Twin Lakes, Corral Lake, and Duck Lake. The transition from the rugged crests of Granite Mtn and Slab Butte down to the drainage of Goose Creek illustrates the complex hydrology of the Idaho backcountry during this era of forest development.
