2013 Map of Baker Peak

About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain along the border of Camas and Blaine Counties. Defined by the crests of the Smoky Mountains, the landscape is a network of sharp drainages and prominent summits, including Big Peak and Baker Peak. Water is a central element of the topography, with numerous high-country lakes such as Big Lost Lake, Smoky Lake, and Baker Lake feeding into complex creek systems. Notable watercourses include the W Fork Big Smoky Cr and the Left Fork Placer Cr. The physical geography is further shaped by dramatic features like Royal Gorge and Slide Rock Canyon, alongside local landmarks such as Brodie Gulch and Lost Shirt Gulch. The road network is sparse, centered primarily on Baker Creek Rd, reflecting the wilderness character of this mountain region.
