1972 Map of Edaho Mountain

About this map

Edaho Mtn serves as a prominent landmark at the southern edge of this high-elevation landscape where the Boise and Elmore county lines meet. The terrain is defined by its extensive network of watercourses, including the South Fork Payette River and the headwaters of the North Fork Boise River. In the early 1970s, this area was characterized by its limited human footprint, primarily evidenced by a small X Prospect near Picket Mtn and the family-named Taylor Spring. Large expanses of the Sawtooth Wilderness and Sawtooth National Forest dominate the quadrangle, with Big Meadows providing a break in the forested slopes. Travel through this area during this era relied heavily on specialized routes such as the Pack Trail and Jeep Pack Trail, reflecting the isolation of the Bugle Mtn and McLeod Creek drainages.
