2011 Map of Bear Valley Mountain

About this map

Bear Valley Mountain dominates this Idaho landscape, where a complex network of high-elevation waterways converges. The drainage system is particularly dense, with Elk Creek receiving numerous tributaries including the North Fork, East Fork, and Little East Fork. Human presence is concentrated along the river corridors, marked by the administrative Bear Valley Patrol Cabin and leisure sites like Elk Creek Campground and Tennessee Creek Campground. Transportation follows the water, with Bear Valley Rd tracing the valley floor and crossing the creek at Twin Bridges. The geography is further defined by substantial openings in the forest canopy such as Corduroy Meadows, Crane Meadow, and Bearskin Meadows, which historically served as vital landmarks for navigation and grazing in this part of Valley County.
