1956 Map of Burgdorf

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Burgdorf and the nearby Hot Springs anchor this high-altitude landscape where the Nez Perce National Forest meets the Payette National Forest. This 1950s survey reflects a geography defined by the search for mineral wealth and the management of remote timberlands. The Salmon River cuts through the northern portion of the map, featuring a Mile 110 Cable Car Crossing and numerous named gulches. Mining activity is particularly dense around the Marshall Lake area, including the Sherman-Howe Mine, Golden Anchor Mine, and Kimberly Mine. Higher elevations are marked by fire detection infrastructure like the Carey Dome VABM Lookout and War Eagle Mtn Lookout. The presence of small habitations such as Hackett Cabin and the Wallis Cabin suggests a history of seasonal occupation and backcountry ranching or prospecting.
