2004 Map of Yellow Pine

About this map

The settlement of Yellow Pine serves as the focal point for this mountain landscape, located at the confluence of Johnson Creek and the South Fork Salmon River. This area represents a critical intersection of wilderness and remote homesteading, featuring the Pioneer Cem and aviation infrastructure at the Johnson Creek Airport. The terrain is defined by massive ridgelines including Quartz Ridge and Antimony Ridge, while much of the eastern portion of the map is protected within the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness. Long-standing local landmarks such as the Abstein Place, Bryant Ranch, and Antimony Camp indicate a history of ranching and mining exploration, specifically near Golden Gate Hill and Bald Hill. The transition between the Payette National Forest and the Boise National Forest underscores the region's managed timber and recreational character.
