About this map

The Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in Valley County, where the hydrological divide between the N Fork Riordan Cr and the numerous forks of Bear Cr shapes the landscape. Evidence of high-country resource extraction is marked by the Springfield Mine, located near the southern reaches of Trapper Flat. The mapping reveals a network of high-altitude trails and vantage points, including the Summit Trail which traverses the eastern ridges and the Meadow Cr Lookout in the northeast corner.

Prominent peaks such as Chilcoot Peak and Trapper Mtn rise above significant alpine basins containing Chilcoot Lake and Riordan Lake. The area's complex topography is further defined by Chilcoot Pass and distinctive geologic landmarks like Pistol Rock and Big Baldy Ridge. The map details the remote transition from Lower Trapper Flat to Upper Trapper Flat, reflecting the area's history of wilderness access and early mining interest.
