1972 Map of Rabbit Creek Summit

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this wilderness area where the Rabbit Creek Summit divides a complex network of high-elevation drainages. In the early 1970s, the terrain was navigated primarily through remote routes like the Pack Trail and Pack Tr, which provided access to deep valleys and ridges. The drainage system is anchored by Rabbit Creek, which branches into its North Fork and South Fork, while Meadow Creek and French Creek drain the southern portions of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment when human infrastructure was minimal, noted only by a lone Footbridge over the water. This survey is an essential record of the Boise and Elmore county line before modern development or forest management altered the primitive access routes through the Idaho backcountry.
