1972 Map of Swanholm Peak

About this map

Graham (Site) and the nearby Graham Mill (Site) occupy a remote clearing along the North Fork Boise River, illustrating the high-elevation mining and milling operations once active in this portion of the Boise National Forest. The landscape is dominated by steep summits such as Swanholm Peak and Graham Peak, with an intricate drainage network including Silver Creek and Johnson Creek. By the early 1970s, the area had transitioned toward remote forest management and recreation, evidenced by the Graham Guard Sta, the Graham Landing Strip, and multiple campgrounds. A network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides the only access through the rugged terrain, crossing the Boise and Elmore County line. Isolated mining Prospects remain scattered across the slopes, marking the legacy of mineral exploration near Silver Mountain.
