1969 Map of Edwardsburg

About this map

Edwardsburg and the nearby Logan settlement sit at the heart of this high-elevation wilderness within the Payette National Forest. This 1960s survey documents a landscape defined by mining activity and remote drainages, centered around the Sunday Mine north of Logan Mountain. The terrain is characterized by steep, glacially-carved basins and sharp divides like Missouri Ridge and The Pinnacles. High mountain water sources are abundant, including Logan Lake, Lick Lake, and Bear Lake, which feed into major drainages like Big Creek and Monumental Creek. Navigation through this backcountry relied on a network of routes such as the Pack Trail that winds through Cougar Basin, illustrating the isolated nature of mining and Forest Service operations in the central Idaho mountains during this era.
