About this map

The South Fork Boise River Reservoir dominates this Idaho landscape, reflecting the engineering work of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. The small settlement of Pine serves as a central point, complete with a Cem, Pine Airstrip, and a Boat Ramp for access to the rising waters. The transition between the Boise National Forest and the Sawtooth National Forest is marked by a network of family-named water sources and landmarks, including McFarney Spring, Cook Spring, and Bainbridge Spring.

Resource extraction and forest management are evident through the Franklin Mine and several other Prospect sites located in the mountains. The presence of the Lester Creek Forest Service Station Heliport and a nearby Radio Facility underscores the area's role as a base for aerial firefighting and wilderness oversight during the early 1970s. Numerous trails, such as the Pack Trail and various Jeep Trails, wind through the gulches and foothills of the Soldier Mountains.
