1970 Map of Holland Gulch

About this map

The Idaho Almaden Mine dominates the northern uplands of this landscape, accompanied by industrial markers including Mill Tailings and a Water Tank near the Stinking Water Basin. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named gulches that cross the boundary between Washington and Payette counties. Significant topographic features like Wilburn Butte and the distinctively named Toe Jam Canyon punctuate the high ground, while the lower elevations are marked by seasonal watercourses like Toe Jam Creek and Little Willow Creek. The presence of a Corral near Wet Gulch and various Jeep Trails suggests a landscape utilized for both mining operations and ranching, characteristic of the remote Idaho interior during this era.
