2020 Map of Black Pine Peak

About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Cassia County, centered on the dramatic elevations of Black Pine Peak and War Eagle Peak. The drainage patterns are defined by a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Kelsaw Canyon, Pole Canyon, and Mineral Gulch. Water is a critical resource in this arid mountain range, evidenced by numerous named springs such as Black Pine Spring, Silver Hills Spring, and Formation Springs. The map illustrates a remote terrain utilized primarily for forest management and transit, with forest roads like Nat For Dev Rd 586 and Nat For Dev Rd 201 providing access to high basins like Burnt Basin. This 2020 survey records the intricate topography of the Black Pine Mountains before modern shifts in land use or nomenclature.
