2011 Map of Amber Lakes

About this map

The Big Wood River serves as the primary drainage through this part of Blaine County, where the high-elevation basin meets several prominent canyon systems. Along the river corridor, the infrastructure of the Sawtooth National Forest is evident through established recreational sites like Wood River Campground and North Fork Campground. The drainage pattern is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Big Wood River and several smaller tributaries such as Murdock Creek and Leroux Creek. In the western portion of the map, the Amber Lakes sit tucked below ridges, while names like Phantom Hill and Amber Gulch highlight the varied topography. The presence of Camp Sawtooth and Camp Manapu along the N Fork Rd indicates the area's long-standing role as a center for mountain education and summer residence.
