1953 Map of Deadwood Reservoir

About this map

Deadwood Reservoir anchors this high-elevation landscape in the Boise National Forest during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a transitional period of resource management and early recreation, evidenced by the presence of the Deadwood Lodge and the Upper Deadwood Guard Station. Industrial history is etched into the terrain at the Deadwood Mine, the Mary Jane Mine, and the Mary Blue Mine, while fire detection infrastructure is represented by the Whitehawk Lookout atop Whitehawk Mountain. The complex drainage system of the Deadwood River and its numerous tributaries, such as Bernard Creek and Stratton Creek, defines the geography. Higher peaks like Pilgram Mtn and Bernard Mtn surround secluded basins such as Tranquil Basin and Ucon Basin, accessible only by the Landmark Stanley Road or a network of primitive trails and driveways.
