1954 Map of Warm Lake

About this map

Warm Lake serves as the central hub for this high-elevation wilderness within the Boise National Forest during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the South Fork Salmon River and the Deadwood River, illustrating a remote mountain economy centered on forest management and resource extraction. Evidence of early settlement and mining history is visible at the Knox (Site) and the Eureka Silver King Mine, while the administrative footprint of the era is marked by the Warm Lake Guard Sta and the Landmark Ranger Station.
