2004 Map of Chicken Peak

About this map

The Salmon River South Fork carves through the heart of this landscape, serving as a primary drainage for a network of creeks including Mackay Creek, Porphyry Creek, and Box Creek. This remote Idaho territory is defined by its inclusion within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and the Payette National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Chicken Peak and Sheepeater Ridge highlight the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the region. The map documents administrative boundaries like the McCall Krassel Ranger District and specific points of interest for backcountry navigation, including Porphyry Bridge and the evocatively named Horse Heaven. These labels suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management in a region where water sources like Mosquito Springs and Quartz Spring were vital for both wildlife and travelers.
