1970 Map of Horton Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Sawtooth National Forest and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area dominate this high-elevation terrain where the Boulder Mountains meet the Salmon River drainage. The 1970 landscape reveals a history of resource extraction and fire management, centered on high-altitude landmarks like the Horton Peak Lookout and Pole Creek Guard Station. Mining activity is recorded in the northern reaches, particularly at Bible Back Mtn and a Prospect near Grand Prize Gulch. The map illustrates a complex network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails used to navigate the basins and canyons. Water sources are abundant, from the headwaters of the Big Wood River to the Governors Punchbowl and the alpine Deer Lakes, reflecting the critical role of these highlands in the regional watershed before late-century development reached the valley floors.
