About this map

The Bear River flows through the high-elevation canyonlands of the Boise National Forest in this 2013 topographic study. This area of Idaho, straddling the Boise County and Elmore County line, is defined by its dramatic drainage networks. The North Fork Boise River serves as the primary waterway in the southern section, where the FH 327 (Forest Highway 327) provides the main corridor for access.

Remote recreational sites are clustered along these river valleys, including Deer Park Campground, Robert E Lee Campground, and Fourmile Campground. The map reveals the intricate watershed of the Sawtooth region, with numerous tributaries such as Crooked River, Rock Creek, and Swanholm Cr carving through the terrain. Geographers and local historians can trace the intersection of established forest roads like Hunter Creek Rd with the primitive drainages that have shaped the region's land use since the early logging and mining eras.
