1982 Map of Idaho City
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Idaho City serves as the focal point for this 1982 study of the Boise Basin, an area defined by its legacy of gold mining and the complex drainage of the Boise River and its forks. The landscape is a network of historic mining districts, where sites like the Gold Hill Mine, Quartzburg Mine, and Belshazzar Mine reveal the intensive extractive history of the Boise Mountains. Small settlements such as Placerville, Centerville, and the isolated outpost of Atlanta are connected by forest roads and the high-elevation terrain of the Boise National Forest. To the southwest, the impounded waters of the Arrowrock Reservoir at Arrowrock Dam contrast with the primitive reaches of the Sawtooth Wilderness in the northeast. This map documents a region where recreational land use, including numerous sites like Paradise Hot Springs Campground, has overlaid a rugged geography of timber and mineral wealth.
