1989 Map of Burgdorf Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness dominates this landscape, showing a high-altitude backcountry in the late 1980s. The terrain is defined by the steep drainage of the South Fork Salmon River and its designated status as the Salmon Wild and Scenic River. Settlement is sparse, restricted to isolated pockets like the Badley Ranch and high meadows such as Faust Meadows. Evidence of early resource extraction persists in the southwest near Slaughter Creek, where several Prospects are recorded. This survey captures a specific moment when the vast Payette National Forest was managed for both wilderness preservation and small-scale land holdings. Critical navigational landmarks for backcountry travelers include Burgdorf Summit and Nelson Point, which rise above a complex network of tributaries including Raines Creek and Smith Creek.
