About this map

Bald Mtn and Cayuse Point anchor this high-elevation wilderness within the Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Yuba River and Feather River meet tributaries like Corbus Cr and Shake Cr. A significant hydrological junction occurs at Three Forks, where multiple streams converge before descending into the deeper canyons.

Evidence of the region's mining and grazing history is preserved in names like Democrat Gulch and Barker Gulch. While the area remains largely undeveloped, an intricate system of forest service routes, including 132, provides access to Pony Ridge and Corbus Lake. The map details the transition between these two major national forests, capturing a remote section of Elmore County dedicated to resource management and backcountry recreation.
