About this map

The South Fork Boise River cuts a deep path through the center of this 1964 field-checked survey, serving as the primary corridor for movement and recreation within the Sawtooth National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river valley to the high peaks of the Soldier Mountains in the south, where Iron Mtn Lookout and Heart Lake represent the high-altitude landmarks of the range.

Evidence of local activity is concentrated near the water, with features like the Gardner Gulch Corral and a solitary Grave near the river indicating a history of livestock management and early mountain life. Public access is noted through established sites like Baumgartner Campground and Skeleton Campground, while a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides the only passage into the more formidable terrain surrounding Jumbo Mtn and Deer Park.
