2013 Map of Chilcoot Peak

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Valley County, where the topography is defined by the headwaters of numerous mountain streams. Significant drainage networks, including Riordan Creek and the north and south forks of Bear Creek, carve through the steep terrain between prominent summits like Chilcoot Peak and Trapper Mountain. The presence of Meadow Creek Lookout in the northeastern corner suggests the critical role of fire observation in managing these timberlands. The survey illustrates a primitive transportation network centered on Trapper Creek Road, which provides access to geographic milestones such as Chilcoot Pass and the series of level clearings known as Upper, Lower, and Trapper Flat. Several high-mountain water bodies, including Black Lake and Chilcoot Lake, are tucked into the basins, marking the area as a significant watershed for the surrounding region.
