About this map

Bear Valley Creek winds through this Idaho mountain landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a series of high-altitude basins and marshy flats. The area is defined by its seasonal grazing and recreation spaces, notably Cache Meadows, Mace Meadows, and Big Meadows. These open stretches are connected by a network of forest service roads, including the prominent Bear Valley Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 502, which follow the natural contours of the drainages.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated at specific nodes like the Transfer Cabin and the Sack Creek Campground near the northern edge. The topography is anchored by Red Mountain to the south, while numerous smaller streams like Mace Creek and Casner Creek feed into the larger valley system. This 2011 survey illustrates the continued importance of the Sack Creek and Cache Creek watersheds for public land management and outdoor access in the backcountry.
