1972 Map of Nahneke Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Overlook Mill (Ruins) and a nearby Mine stand as primary evidence of early industrial activity in this high-altitude landscape within the Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of drainages including Black Warrior Creek, Little Queens River, and Townsend Creek, which carve through the terrain between prominent summits like Nahneke Mtn and Smoky Peak. Evidence of historic movement is found in the extensive Pack Trail system that traverses High Pass and connects remote water features such as Rock Island Lake and Scenic Lake. The map illustrates a transitional wilderness where the Sawtooth Wilderness Area meets the county line between Boise Co and Elmore Co, documenting a period when these backcountry trails were the primary means of navigating the high basins and alpine falls like Scenic Falls.
