About this map

Mining claims and high-altitude ranching camps mark this rugged section of the Smoky Mountains within the Sawtooth National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of silver and lead operations near Carrietown, including the Last Chance Mine, Silver Star Mine, and the King of the West Mine. These sites are linked by a network of historic transportation routes like the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, illustrating the difficult logistics of early 20th-century extraction in the Idaho backcountry.

In the lower elevations to the south, the terrain shifts toward pastoral use at Ditto Flat. Features such as the Gooding Cow Camp and Gooding Corrals near White Rag Creek highlight the seasonal movement of livestock through the drainage basins of Little Smoky Creek and Smoky Creek. This transition from the industrial tunnels of the Tyrannis Mine to the open grazing lands of Sheep Ridge captures the dual economic history of Camas and Blaine Counties.
