About this map

Burgdorf Summit dominates the central portion of this Idaho County landscape, serving as a significant geographical anchor between the drainages of the South Fork Salmon River and numerous mountain creeks. The 2011 survey documents a terrain defined by high ridges and strategic vantage points, notably Smith Knob Lookout and Mill Lookout, which overlook the complex network of valleys and saddles. Evidence of early land use is found at Badley Ranch and Faust Meadows, indicating pockets of settlement and grazing within the forest.

Modern access for recreation and management is centered on the Natl Forest Develop Road 355 Rd, which connects key points like the Smith Saddle Trailhead and Raines Creek Trailhead. The map illustrates a watershed defined by steep elevation changes, with named features such as Sleepy Saddle, Nelson Point, and Mann Creek Ridge providing a detailed view of the regional topography before reaching the river floor.
