About this map

The South Fork Payette River carves a deep path through this Boise County landscape, joined by the Deadwood River in a region defined by its steep gulches and high ridges. The map documents a rugged interior within the Boise National Forest, where the presence of the Sloper Mine and Mammoth Mill Road points to the area's history of mineral extraction. Transportation is dictated by the terrain, with the Banks-Lowman Hwy tracing the river valley while forest roads like Grimes Creek-Summit Flat navigate the higher elevations.

Small settlements and landmarks such as Pine Flat and Birch Flat provide narrow level ground for activity. Significant topographic markers including Deadwood Ridge, Coulter Summit, and Windy Point frame the drainage basins of Julie Creek and Rock Creek. This survey captures the specialized infrastructure of the national forest, from named spurs like China Spur to the distinctive river curves at Oxbow Bend.
