2004 Map of Chilcoot Peak

About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Boise National Forest centers on the drainage basins of Riordan Creek and its many forks. This area, largely preserved within the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, shows the intricate relationship between early twentieth-century extraction and later conservation efforts. Significant peaks like Chilcoot Peak and Trapper Mountain dominate the skyline, while human activity is evidenced by the presence of the Springfield Mine and the winding path of the Old Mountain Road. Fire management infrastructure is visible at the Meadow Creek Lookout, situated near the boundary with the Cascade Ranger District. The map details a network of alpine water bodies, including Riordan Lake, Black Lake, and Chilcoot Lake, which feed the remote tributaries of the Middle and South Forks of Riordan Creek.
