About this map

Boundary Peak and the high ridges of the Clearwater National Forest dominate this mid-century survey of central Idaho. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Eldorado Creek, Frenchman Creek, and the winding Canyon Creek, which carve deep valleys between peaks like Mex Mountain and Frenchman Butte. A system of historic routes, most notably the Lolo Trail and various pack trails, provides the primary means of traversal through this backcountry.

Evidence of Forest Service activity and seasonal habitation is scattered throughout the drainages, visible at sites such as the Mex Mountain Work Center, Canyon Meadows Work Center, and the evocatively named Full Stomach Camp. For local historians and researchers, the inclusion of Jacksons Cow Camp and Camp Moosehorn offers a look at the specific points of human occupation in the wilderness during the 1960s, before modern developments altered these traditional forest use patterns.
