About this map

Big Baldy Lo stands as a prominent sentinel within the high backcountry of the Boise National Forest and Payette National Forest. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, where Big Baldy and Big Baldy Ridge dominate the southwestern quadrant. The drainage network is dense, featuring numerous tributaries such as Indian Cr, Wampum Cr, and Middle Fork Indian Cr that carve through the wilderness.

Remote landmarks like Kwikswis Hot Spring near the confluence of Kwikswis Cr and Indian Creek highlight the geothermal activity of this region. The map also records the limited human infrastructure in these protected lands, including the primitive path of Garden Way and summits such as Red Peak and Battleaxe Mtn to the north. It is a detailed record of the intersections between township and range boundaries across some of Idaho's most demanding terrain.
