1954 Map of Gold Fork

About this map

Hot Spring and the small settlements of Crawford, Pearson, and Davis anchor the southern valleys of this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Gold Fork River and Little Gold Fork River, which flow through the heart of the Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest. A notable piece of local history is recorded along the valley floor, where an Old Railroad Grade and the Old Kennedy Valley Road trace former transportation corridors through Kennedy Valley. High-elevation observation points like Sloans Point Lookout and Gold Fork Lookout overlook the mountainous terrain, while the Historical Monument near Pearson marks a specific point of local heritage. The southern reaches are characterized by water management features such as Calendar Reservoir and Davis Reservoir, supporting the agricultural and ranching efforts in Horsethief Basin.
