1986 Map of Weasel Gulch

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this mid-1980s topography, a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal springs. The eastern edge of the map follows the course of the Weiser River and its West Fork, while the southern portion is carved by the North Fork Hornet Creek and Left Fork Hornet Creek. This area of Idaho is characterized by numerous gulches and canyons named for local flora, fauna, and early explorers, including Weasel Gulch, Bull Gulch, and Robison Gulch. Evidence of land use is visible at the Gravel Pit near the northern boundary. Genealogists and local historians can trace named natural landmarks like Harrington Spring and Dean Spring, which likely served as critical water sources for livestock and early travelers navigating these mountain passes before more modernized infrastructure was established.
