2013 Map of Cinnabar Mountain

About this map

The Silver City Range and the high peaks of the Owyhee Mountains dominate this high-altitude corner of Idaho. Rising to prominent heights, Cinnabar Mtn and Quicksilver Mtn overlook a landscape carved by numerous drainages, including Silver Cord Gulch and Sawpit Gulch. The nomenclature of the terrain, specifically features like China Butte and Turntable Mtn, hints at the region's long history of resource extraction and mountain travel. Remote outposts like Snow Cabin are positioned along the high ridges, while water sources such as Thomas Lakes and Driscoll Spring provide critical points of interest in the arid, steep topography. A sparse road network, including Deer Creek Rd, navigates the complex system of ridges and saddles like Pickett Creek Saddle that separate the various forks of Boulder Cr and Pickett Cr.
