1969 Map of Dunnigan Creek

About this map

Boise National Forest terrain dominates this Boise River watershed survey, where the deep drainage of Mores Creek carves through the landscape to meet the northern reaches of the Lucky Peak Reservoir. The area is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Grimes Creek, Dunnigan Creek, and Smith Creek, which reflect the region's historical ties to mining and resource extraction. Evidence of early prospecting is visible through labels for a Mine and Prospect located in the southern hills. Transportation through these steep canyons relied on rugged paths like the Adelene Trail and various unnamed jeep trails. Recreational and utility infrastructure is sparsely placed, with a Campground near Thorn Creek and a Pumping Station near Daggett Creek serving the managed forest lands and reservoir waters.
