About this map

Big Baldy and Red Peak command this high-elevation landscape within the Boise National Forest, where a dense network of mountain streams defines the drainage patterns of the central Idaho backcountry. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges such as Big Baldy Ridge and the heights of Battleaxe Mtn, dropping into deep valleys carved by Indian Creek and its many named tributaries.

One of the most distinctive features is the Kwiskwis Hot Spring, situated along Kwiskwis Cr near its junction with Indian Cr. The map illustrates the complex hydrography of the region, from the northern reaches of Little Indian Cr and Dynamite Cr to the southern flow of Garden Cr. This 2013 survey provides a detailed record of the forest's wilderness character, tracing the paths of creeks like Siah Cr, Cultus Cr, and Endoah Cr through the steep topographic contours of the Salmon River Mountains.
