2011 Map of Chicken Peak

About this map

South Fork Salmon River anchors the southwestern portion of this 2011 survey, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-country springs in Idaho County. The terrain rises toward Chicken Peak and the evocative Horse Heaven Ridge, revealing a drainage network where multiple creeks, such as Chicken Creek and North Fork Porphyry Creek, converge toward the river system. This map is particularly valuable for its documentation of vital backcountry water sources, including Chicken Spring, Soldier Spring, and Mosquito Springs. Traceable infrastructure is limited in this area, with the Porphyry Bridge serving as a significant crossing point near the river's bend. The inclusion of Spring Camp and Horse Heaven provides insight into the naming conventions and localized landmarks used by those navigating this remote Idaho interior.
