1962 Map of Papoose Peak

About this map

Papoose Peak and the high ridge of Black Butte anchor this high-elevation wilderness landscape where the Salmon National Forest meets the Payette National Forest. The 1962 survey illustrates a remote backcountry defined by a network of drainage systems and primitive routes, including the Coyote Springs Trail and the Stoddard Trail. An indefinite boundary separates Idaho and Valley counties, cutting across steep terrain marked by features like Big Hill and the waters of Papoose Lake. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, showing the headwaters of numerous creeks including Trapper Creek, Golden Creek, and Wolf Creek, which flow through deep canyons and beneath prominent peaks like Farrow Mtn.
