1894 Map of Rocky Bar

About this map

Rocky Bar serves as a central point in this 1891 survey of the Boise River basin, reflecting a landscape defined by mining settlements and steep drainages. The map details the complex intersection of the South Fork Boise River, Middle Fork Boise River, and North Fork Boise River, which carve through the high peaks of the Sawtooth range. Small mountain outposts like Atlanta and Graham are isolated among the ridges, connected by trails and waterways such as the Yuba River and Little Queen River. The topography is anchored by prominent summits including Steel Mt. and Grey Lock Peak, while Trinity Lake sits high on the slopes of Trinity Mt.. This edition captures the Elmore and Alturas county borderlands during a period of intense resource extraction and remote settlement development.
