1972 Map of Lowman
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Lowman serves as the central hub of this mountain landscape, situated at the confluence of the South Fork Payette River and several tributary drainages. The 1970s terrain is marked by a legacy of resource extraction and early forest management, evidenced by the Specimen Mine and Banner Mine, as well as a Sawmill located near the headwaters of Banner Creek. Outdoor recreation and conservation are well-established here, with the Lowman Ranger Station, Mountain View Campground, and the thermal waters of Kirkham Hot Springs providing focal points for visitors within the Boise National Forest. The topography is dominated by massive landforms such as Kirkham Ridge and Banner Ridge, while a network of jeep trails and a primary Logging Road indicate the active timber and surveying efforts of the era.
