About this map

Pine Flat Hot Springs sits along the South Fork Payette River, a central watercourse that dictates the geography of this Boise County region. The confluence of the Deadwood River and the Payette creates a corridor for travel and recreation, marked by sites like the Pine Flats Campground and Deadwood Campground. The landscape transitions from river flats such as Birch Flat and Pidgeon Flat into a series of steep drainages and ridges, including the prominent Burns Ridge and Beaver Creek Summit.

A distinct legacy of resource extraction is evident in the southern portion of the map, where a cluster of historic mining operations follows the local geology. These include the Sloper Mine, Golden Cycle Mine, Golden Chariot Mine, and Mammoth Mine, connected by mountain roads such as Summit Flat Rd. These sites offer a glimpse into the industrial efforts that once punctuated this wilderness landscape, providing valuable locations for researchers of local mining history.
