1963 Map of Hershey Point

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Sams Throne and Hershey Point dominate the high-altitude topography of this 1963 field-checked survey within the Payette National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of French Creek and Elkhorn Creek, illustrating a classic central Idaho mountain profile before extensive modern development. Human presence in this isolated portion of Idaho County is minimal, marked primarily by a remote Cabin and the Landing Strip at Elk Meadows, which hints at the era’s reliance on aerial access for forest management and backcountry travel. Along the western edge, Lava Butte Ridge rises above Lava Butte Lakes, while Jenkins Crossing provides a named point of reference for those navigating the rugged creek-side terrain by trail or jeep.
