About this map

Boise National Forest and the Sawtooth National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of central Idaho. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and deep drainages, most notably Pony Ridge, which serves as a prominent divide between several water systems. The Middle Fork Boise River flows across the northern section, fed by a complex network including the East Fork Yuba River and Corbus Creek.

Evidence of Idaho's mining legacy is scattered throughout the region, with the Bonaparte Mine located near Democrat Creek and the Marsh Creek Mine situated near the Sawtooth National Forest Boundary. These sites, along with several labeled prospects, indicate a history of mineral exploration in the shadow of peaks like Bald Mountain and Cayuse Point. A solitary Hot Spring and the presence of Corbus Lake add to the diverse features of this remote interior wilderness.
