About this map

The high ridge-and-canyon terrain of the Sawtooth National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey of southern Idaho. Defined by the massive Rams Horn Ridge, the landscape is a network of drainage systems including Dry Fork Creek, Harrington Creek, and the headwaters of Rock Creek. Water management is central to this environment, evidenced by the presence of Deadeye Reservoir, Fuller Reservoir, and Keith Reservoir.

Named family landmarks and localized history are captured through features like Mikes Cabin and a series of springs such as Martindale Spring, Oliver Spring, and Bowers Spring. These water sources, along with the Coal Pit near the southern boundary, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and small-scale resource extraction. The map also traces various ways through the terrain, from established roads to the Jeep Trail winding through Buckhorn Canyon.
