About this map

Muldoon sits in a high drainage where mining operations and national forest management meet. This 1991 provisional map documents a landscape defined by the legacies of silver and lead extraction, with the Idaho Muldoon Mine, Muldoon Mine, and Mutual Mine clustered in the steep gulches of Muldoon Ridge. Evidence of the area's industrial past is seen at Smelter Butte and various ruins and adits found along Argosy Creek.

Within the Sawtooth National Forest, the Garfield FS Station and Copper Creek Campground serve as anchors for public land use. The rugged terrain is carved by complex drainages like Copper Creek, Payne Creek, and Friedman Creek, while prominent landmarks such as Garfield Mountain and Bell Rock define the horizon. This survey captures the intersection of early 20th-century mining infrastructure and modern recreational forestry in the Pioneer Mountains region.
