1972 Map of Sunset Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Boise National Forest contains a complex network of ridges and watercourses centered around Pilot Peak Lookout and Sunset Mtn. The 1971 aerial photography captured for this survey shows a landscape defined by its mining and recreational history, where the headwaters of Mores Creek and Grimes Creek are dotted with numerous mines and prospects. Several seasonal sites line the mountain drainages, including Hayfork Campground and Tenmile Campground, alongside landmarks like Mores Creek Summit. Transportation across this high-elevation terrain in the early 1970s relied on a system of jeep trails and pack trails that connect features such as Freeman Peak and Summit Flat. The nomenclature of the area reflects its gold-rush legacy, evidenced by names like American Girl Gulch and Whoop Um Up Creek.
