1964 Map of Heavens Gate

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Heavens Gate serves as a prominent overlook in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Idaho and Adams Counties. The rugged terrain is defined by the steep descent toward the Rapid River, where the Rapid River Fish Hatchery and an adjacent Picnic Area mark a center of activity in the canyon. This mid-1960s survey documents a network of high-country outposts and family-named landmarks including Silvers Station, De Veny Place, and Wurtz Cabin. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the Nez Perce National Forest meets the Payette National Forest, connected by a Jeep Trail and pack routes such as the one through Game Warden Saddle. Notable peaks like Cannon Ball Mountain and Bryan Mountain rise above deep drainages like Thorn Gulch and Ranyhan Gulch, highlighting the area's role as a critical watershed for the river system below.
