About this map

Featherville serves as the primary outpost on the South Fork Boise River in this mid-1960s survey of Idaho’s remote mountain terrain. The landscape is defined by the meeting of the Boise National Forest and the Sawtooth National Forest, with a network of traditional pack trails like the Pack Trail and Crosscut Trail providing access to high-elevation points such as Dog Mountain.

Along the river, signs of recreation and early travel are evident at Paradise Hot Springs and the Dog Creek Campground. The presence of the Diamond Bar Airstrip and labels for Tollgate and Wagontown suggest the area's transition from early pioneer routes to twentieth-century utility. Numerous drainages, including Schoolhouse Gulch and Bronco Gulch, slice through the steep topography, while small-scale industrial activity is noted at a Prospect and Gravel Pit near the river valley floor.
