About this map

Gold Fork River and its numerous tributaries dominate this high-elevation wilderness within the Boise National Forest and Payette National Forest. This late-1980s provisional study details a landscape defined by drainage networks and sharp topographic relief, where the North Fork Gold Fork River and South Fork Gold Fork River converge amidst a web of smaller streams like Six-bit Creek and Lodgepole Creek.

Evidence of human passage is limited to remote infrastructure, including a Pack Trail winding through the timber and the notable Big Creek Summit. Distinctive landmarks such as the Needles and Gold Fork Rock serve as essential navigational points in the backcountry. For researchers and geologists, the map provides a precise look at the hydrology of Dollar Creek Meadow and the surrounding peaks before modern digital revisions.
