1964 Map of Ross Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The high alpine landscape of the central Idaho mountains is defined here by the jagged boundary between the Boise National Forest and the Sawtooth National Forest. Centered on the towering granite of Ross Peak and Gunsight Peak, the terrain is marked by steep glaciated basins containing remote water bodies like Goat Lake, Grouse Lakes, and the Ross Fork Lakes. Human activity in the mid-1960s was primarily limited to resource extraction and backcountry travel, evidenced by the Red Horse Mine and various prospects scattered near the Elmore and Camas county line. A network of trails and a lone jeep trail provide the only access through dramatic features such as Narrow Canyon and Mill Canyon. This survey captures the wilderness character of the region before significant modern changes, preserving the locations of numerous unnamed springs and seasonal drainages like Skeleton Creek and Senator Creek.
