2013 Map of Yellow Pine

About this map

Yellow Pine sits at the confluence of central Idaho waterways, serving as a remote hub for the surrounding backcountry. The 2013 landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest, where steep ridges like Quartz Ridge and Antimony Ridge overlook narrow canyon floors. Historical family-named sites such as Abstein Place and the seasonal Antimony Camp indicate a long history of mining and homesteading in these mountains. Transportation is limited to rugged corridors like Stibnite Rd and Johnson Creek Rd, which provide the only access to the Johnson Creek Airport and the secluded Alpine Village. The presence of the Pioneer Cem near the town center provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing early settlers of the Johnson Creek drainage. Recreational sites, including the Yellow Pine Campground and Golden Gate Campground, are concentrated near the river, while landmarks like Deadhorse Rapids on the river suggest the untamed nature of the local terrain.
