About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates the landscape of this high-elevation region, where the border of Blaine County and Camas County cuts through a dense network of gulches and creeks. The drainage patterns are intricate, with north-flowing waters like Nebraska Cr and Cherry Cr eventually meeting the larger Beaver Cr system. To the east, the topography rises toward Square Mtn and the steep terrain of Jumbo Canyon.

Access into this backcountry is defined by primitive routes such as Willow Creek Rd and Camp Creek Rd, reflecting the area's history of forest management and limited settlement. Early naming conventions are preserved through landmarks like McDonald Gulch and McKay Gulch, while the local hydrography includes curiously named streams like Minnehaha Cr and Eagle Cr. The map provides a clear picture of the Forest Service development as it existed in 2017, including the Willow Loop trail.
