About this map

The Big Wood River valley and high alpine basins of the Boulder Mountains define this section of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Near the center of the sheet, Easley Hot Springs and the Russian John Guard Station mark significant human footprints along the canyon floor. The map records the remnants of the area's mining history, specifically in the high-elevation Boulder Basin, where the Boulder (Site) is noted alongside a Mine Dump and a Prospect located near Crown Point.

High-altitude lakes like Windsor Lake and the Boulder Lakes are tucked beneath peaks such as Easley Peak and Silver Peak. The landscape is a network of drainage gulches and creeks, including Baker Creek and Silver Creek, which flow into the main river channel. Recreational sites like Cathedral Pines and Prairie Campground show the 1970s emphasis on public land use within the Sawtooth National Forest.
