1969 Map of Enos Lake

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this 1969 topographic study, characterized by high-altitude drainages and dramatic peaks like North Loon Mtn. The landscape is defined by the Secesh River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Lick Creek and Enos Creek. Higher elevations reveal a series of alpine water bodies, most notably Enos Lake, Jungle Lake, and Cow Lake, which are linked by a system of historical transit routes designated as Pack Trail. A high-vantage Lookout Tower sits at Split Creek Point, overlooking the junction of Split Creek and the river. This survey reflects the era of mid-century forest management and wilderness access in Valley County, before modern development altered these backcountry routes. The presence of numerous named drainages such as Maverick Creek, Calf Creek, and Cow Creek suggests a landscape historically utilized for seasonal grazing and early resource exploration.
