1972 Map of Scott Creek

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the boundary between Valley and Boise counties follows the ridgelines above Ninemile Creek. The topography is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Deadwood River and its numerous tributaries, including Scott Creek and Meadow Creek. Human presence in this 1972 survey is characterized by forestry and backcountry infrastructure, marked by the Deadwood Lookout and the Bog Forest Service Station. Notable livestock or survey sites such as the Center Camp Corral are reached by a network of established paths like the Packsaddle Trail and Anderson Cr Trail. The map details the complex creek systems that feed into Nellies Basin and Josie Basin, offering a precise view of the central Idaho interior before modern recreational development intensified in these protected lands.
