1957 Map of Harris Creek Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Boise Ridge dominates the skyline of the Boise National Forest in this late 1950s survey, marking a high divide between numerous drainages including Harris Creek and Jackass Creek. The map documents a rugged landscape shaped by a legacy of resource extraction, clearly marking the Belshazzar Mine and the Mountain Chief Mine, alongside several unidentified prospects. These mining sites are connected by a network of primitive transportation routes, specifically designated as Jeep Trails and Foot Trails, which navigate the steep gulches and ridges. Significant elevation points like Hawley Mtn and the Harris Creek Summit provide essential orientation for the area. The terrain is characterized by deep ravines such as Appletree Gulch and South Deadman Gulch, illustrating the complex hydrology flowing toward the western valleys.
