2011 Map of Lowman

About this map

The South Fork Payette River carves a deep valley through this Idaho interior, where the settlement of Lowman serves as a central hub for the surrounding wilderness. The landscape is defined by its mining and recreational history, anchored by the presence of Specimen Mine to the north and Banner Mine to the south. This era shows a high concentration of backcountry access, with established sites like Kirkham Hot Springs Campground and Mountain View Campground situated near the riverbanks. The complex drainage network, including Huckleberry Creek and Clear Creek, illustrates the varied terrain leading up to high points such as Beaver Creek Summit and Kirkham Ridge. Notable for its combination of resource extraction and leisure, the map documents the infrastructure of Forest Service roads like the Lick Creek Rd and Banks Lowman Rd that connect these remote mountain features.
