1970 Map of Horton Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Horton Peak Lookout stands as a sentinel over this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Big Wood River and West Fork Salmon River begin their descent. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals an area defined by the meeting of the Sawtooth National Forest and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The map captures the infrastructure of resource extraction and backcountry management, from the unnamed Mines near Bible Back Mtn to the Pole Creek Guard Station. Significant for its detailed rendering of historical routes, the sheet traces numerous Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that provided access to remote features like Germania Basin and the curiously named Governors Punchbowl. The terrain is marked by a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Grand Prize Canyon and Galena Gulch, which speak to the area's mining heritage.
