About this map

Cayuse Point stands as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the headwaters of several major drainages converge. The map illustrates a complex network of canyons and ridges where the Boise National Forest meets the Sawtooth National Forest. This 2023 survey documents a remote backcountry defined by its water system, ranging from the alpine Corbus Lake at the northern edge to the winding courses of the Yuba River and the Feather River.

Evidence of human movement through this steep terrain is recorded in the established trail networks, including the Corbus Creek Trail and Shake Creek Trail. Place names like Democrat Gulch and Pony Ridge hint at the area's prospecting and pack-animal history, while the detailed topography shows the dramatic vertical transitions between Bald Mountain and the deep incisions of Middle Fork Corbus Creek.
