1964 Map of Sheep Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses the entirety of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Boise River. The northern portion of the map follows the winding course of the Middle Fork Boise River, where early recreational development is evident at sites like the Repeat Creek Campground and Troutdale Campground. A lone Prospect label near a Hot Spring along the river suggests small-scale mineral exploration common to this part of the Idaho backcountry during the mid-century. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the extensive tributaries of Sheep Creek, including its East Fork and South Fork, which carve through the high country around Sheep Mountain. A system of primitive routes, labeled simply as Trail, provides the only access through these steep drainages, connecting remote points like Rattlesnake Creek and Pack Creek.
