1969 Map of Profile Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Moscow Mine and Glasgow Mine anchor the northern reaches of this high-elevation terrain, illustrating the concentrated mining activity within the Payette National Forest. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals a landscape where industrial extraction and natural features are tightly entwined, particularly around Profile Gap. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides the only access through the steep drainages of Logan Creek and the South Fork Elk Creek, connecting several remote claims such as the Red Metals Mine and Lotspeich Mine. The topography is defined by prominent summits like Dixie Mtn and Willson Peak, while alpine waters including Crater Lake and Fish Lake are tucked into the high ridges. This map documents a specific era of mountain resource extraction and the established backcountry trail systems used to navigate the Quartz Ridge.
