1988 Map of Sloans Point

About this map

Gold Fork Hot Spring marks a prominent geological landmark in the high country of Valley County, Idaho, where the Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest meet. This 1988 survey details the intricate drainage system of the Gold Fork River and its tributary, the Little Gold Fork River, as they carve through the landscape. In the western portion of the sheet, the terrain opens into Little Valley, a corridor defined by Kennally Creek and Sloans Creek. A remote Landing Strip situated north of the hot springs reflects the area's reliance on aerial access for management and recreation. The geography is punctuated by significant peaks like Sloans Point and numerous smaller watercourses, including Willow Creek and French Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of these protected mountain ranges.
