1956 Map of Burgdorf

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Burgdorf and its famous Hot Springs serve as a central hub for this high-altitude landscape within the Payette National Forest. This mid-century survey captures a region defined by its intensive mining history and steep river drainages. To the north, the Salmon River cuts a deep canyon between the Nez Perce National Forest and the interior uplands, while several high-elevation lookouts like Carey Dome and War Eagle Mtn monitor the timber. A concentration of historic lode claims, including the Golden Anchor Mine, Bullion Mine, and Sherman-Howe Mine, reveals the persistent search for minerals along the ridges. Isolated outposts such as Wallis Cabin and Hackett Cabin provide evidence of early habitation in the Idaho backcountry before more modern infrastructure reached these high basins.
