About this map

The Boise National Forest provides the setting for this detailed survey of central Idaho's high-country drainages. The landscape is defined by the Crooked River and its numerous tributaries, including Big Owl Creek and Little Owl Creek. This 2017 study illustrates the modern configuration of Forest Service access roads and trails, such as Kempner Rd, Lower Pike, and the Crooked Pike Loop, which serve the timber and recreation interests of the region.

Strategic navigation points and natural landmarks are well-documented, from the high elevation of Gold Fork Summit and Hungarian Summit to the meadows of Hurdy Flat. The Idaho City-Stanley-SH21 provides the primary transit artery through this wilderness, connecting travelers between mountain outposts. This map captures the precise hydrography of the Boise and Elmore county line, where complex drainages like Banner Creek and Lamar Creek feed the larger river systems.
