1964 Map of Snowyside Peak

About this map

Snowyside Peak stands as the central landmark of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the high alpine terrain of the Sawtooth Range. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and headwaters, where the South Fork Payette River begins its descent near Payette Peak. The presence of several established campsites, such as Alturas Inlet Campground and another Campground near Toxaway Lake, suggests the area's development as a premier destination for backcountry recreation within the Sawtooth National Forest by the mid-1960s.
