2011 Map of Blackmare

About this map

Miners Peak Lookout and Blackmare Lookout watch over a high-altitude landscape defined by the complex drainages of the Payette National Forest region. This 2011 survey illustrates the intricate hydrography of the Salmon River Mountains, where the waters of Kennally Creek and its many forks—the North Fork, East Fork, and South Fork—converge to shape the central terrain. Higher elevations are marked by alpine features such as Blackmare Lake, Petes Lake, and Square Top Lake, often situated near prominent points like Blackmare Summit or the distinctive White Rocks formation. The absence of developed roads or towns highlights the primitive character of this Idaho backcountry, where geography is recorded through peaks like Miners Peak and topographic crossings such as Cougar Saddle.
