2011 Map of Old Timer Mountain

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep path through this Idaho landscape, serving as a primary corridor for small settlements and ranching outposts along its banks. The terrain is marked by numerous bars and landings, including Fine Bar, Pony Bar, and Johnson Bar, which historically provided access points in this steep river canyon. Named locations like McLeod Ranch and the Wilson Cow Camp suggest a history of seasonal grazing and remote habitation, while scattered shelters such as the McGaffee Cabin and Wilson Cabin are found near the confluence of side streams like Bernard Creek and Sluice Creek. High above the river, the topography rises to the summit of Old Timer Mountain and the prominent Indian Trail Ridge, where the landscape is defined by drainage basins like Cougar Basin and McGaffee Basin. The distribution of these family-named landmarks reflects the localized scale of exploration and land use in this part of Idaho County.
