2011 Map of Sloans Point

About this map

Sloans Point Lookout crowns the high ground of this Valley County landscape, a vital vantage point overlooking the drainage basins of the Gold Fork River. The topography is defined by the convergence of mountain waters, including the North Fork Gold Fork River and South Fork Gold Fork River, which meet south of the settlement at Little Valley. This area shows a transition from high-altitude ridge lines like the Foolhen Ridge-Firetrail to the lower meadows where Flat Creek and French Creek flow. Human activity is marked by a complex network of forest access routes such as Kennally Creek Rd and Sloans Point Rd, alongside the industrial presence of Brown Dam on Laffinwell Creek. The map documents a rugged timber and watershed management area in the early 21st century, illustrating the relationship between the Sloans Point summit and the river valleys below.
