1989 Map of Johnson Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Salmon River cuts a deep path through central Idaho, serving as the primary dividing line between massive wilderness tracts in the late 1980s. This survey illustrates the convergence of the Gospel Hump Wilderness, the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, and portions of the Payette National Forest. Along the river, treacherous water features like Little Growler Rapids, Canopener Rapids, and Dried Meat Rapids are carefully noted, alongside the historic river passage at Indian Crossing. To the south, the landscape is punctuated by numerous mining claims situated in the high terrain, including the Sherman-Howell Mine, Golden Anchor Mine, and Leadville Mine. These sites, tucked near peaks like Black Butte and Johnson Butte, reflect a legacy of hard-rock mineral extraction deep within the national forest system.
