1989 Map of Burgdorf

About this map

The mountain settlement of Burgdorf serves as the focal point of this Idaho survey, which documents the remote high-country landscape during the late 1980s. Located within the Payette National Forest, the area is defined by a series of steep drainages including Lake Creek and Nethker Creek, which flow toward the Secesh River at the southern boundary. The presence of the Burgdorf Sch, Burgdorf RS Sta, and a Campground (Hot Springs) suggests a localized hub for forest management and thermal recreation. Evidence of mineral exploration and resource extraction is scattered across the terrain, notably at the Durden Prospect Mine and an Open Pit Mine near Crystal Mountain. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Bear Pete Mountain and Marshall Lake, while a network of Pack Trails provides access through the timbered slopes and clearings such as Frosty Meadow.
