1969 Map of Parks Peak

About this map

The Salmon River and its South Fork converge in the northwestern corner of this territory, marking a significant hydrological junction within the Payette National Forest. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals a landscape defined by steep drainage systems and high-altitude points, including the prominent Parks Peak and Rainbow Ridge. The area is largely devoid of permanent settlements, focused instead on the remote infrastructure of the era such as the Lawman Ford crossing and various Pack Trails that navigated the complex terrain between Smith Creek and Savage Creek.
