2011 Map of Buckskin Peak

About this map

Buckskin Peak and Our Mountain anchor a terrain defined by high summits and the intricate drainage basins of the West Fork Illinois River. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape primarily managed for national forest development, where access is provided by routes like Nat For Dev Rd 112 and Wimer Rd. While the area is dominated by wildland features such as Frantz Meadow and Baldface Lake, a single industrial footprint, the Alberg Mine, suggests a history of mineral exploration in the northeastern corner. The mapping detail shows the convergence of several major tributaries, including the North Fork Rough and Ready Creek and the South Fork Rough and Ready Creek, which carve deep paths through the mountainous surroundings.
