About this map

Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest converge in this high-elevation region of Elmore County, where steep drainages define the landscape. This 2020 survey details the complex hydrography of the backcountry, including the headwaters of the Yuba River and the small Corbus Lake tucked beneath the heights of Bald Mtn. The terrain is marked by a network of significant ridges and gulches, such as Pony Ridge and the deep cuts of Democrat Gulch and Barker Gulch.

Transport and water management patterns are evident through the numerous tributaries of the Snake Creek and Cayuse Cr systems. The map shows the intersection of several township and range boundaries, highlighting the importance of federal forest management in this part of Idaho. From Cayuse Point down to the named drainages like Rough Gulch, the map serves as a contemporary record of this primitive and protected wilderness.
