About this map

Boise National Forest dominates this 1970s topographic study, revealing a rugged drainage system defined by Deadwood Ridge and Miller Mountain. The map illustrates a complex network of tributaries feeding into larger water bodies, with O'Keefe Creek, Blacks Creek, and Whitehawk Creek carving deep paths through the high-elevation terrain. A significant boundary line marks the division between Valley and Boise Counties, cutting across the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of historical access is found in the scattered Trail networks and specific landmarks like Miller Fence Creek and Corral Creek, which suggest early grazing or settlement activity. The presence of Springs and named features such as North Fk Elkhorn Cr and Fawn Creek highlights the area's importance for local water resources. This survey provides an essential look at the wilderness geography before more modern developments, preserving the exact naming of remote landmarks like Cup Creek and Gold Creek.
