About this map

Lucky Peak Reservoir anchors the southern reaches of this landscape, where the waters of Mores Creek and Robie Cr converge. Mapping of this area in the late 1960s captures a rugged terrain dominated by the Boise National Forest, defined by a series of deeply etched drainages such as Wildcat Gulch, Avelene Gulch, and Voquelin Gulch. Evidence of land use and resource management is visible through scattered infrastructure, including a Pumping Station along the creek and a Gaging Station near the reservoir.

High points like Mt Heinen overlook a network of seasonal streams and canyons, including Dunnigan Creek and Minneha Creek. While primarily wild, the map records small human imprints such as a Mine, a Prospect, and a Corral, indicating the varied history of grazing and prospecting that shaped this corner of Idaho. Several Picnic Areas and a Campground highlight the area's transition into a recreational landscape by this era.
