2013 Map of Black Hawk Mountain

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this Idaho County landscape, showcasing a complex network of canyons and ridgelines defined by the Red River and its numerous tributaries. High points like Black Hawk Mtn and Blue Ribbon Mtn anchor the terrain, while prominent features such as Simmons Ridge and Flatiron Ridge provide significant geographical landmarks. The map reveals an intricate system of Forest Service access roads, including 1189 and 9822, which follow the natural contours of the land to reach more remote drainages like French Gulch and Little Siegel Cr. This 2013 survey reflects the modern management of this backcountry area, where the drainage patterns of Kirks Fork, Galena Cr, and Steckner Cr dictate the movement of both water and traveler through the forested interior.
