About this map

Dave Lewis Peak stands at the center of this remote mountain landscape, marking the high ground between the Payette National Forest and Salmon National Forest. The map documents a rugged river-and-ridge system defined by the path of Big Creek, which carves through the Big Creek Gorge and past the historic Soldier Bar area. This terrain is accessible primarily by air and trail, as evidenced by the Soldier Bar USFS Airport and the Taylor Ranch Landing Area located near the confluence of Rush Creek.

Drainage patterns are intricate throughout the quadrangle, with numerous named tributaries such as Pioneer Creek, Eagan Creek, and Breeching Creek feeding into the main valley. The map also traces the Bernard trail and the Short Cr. L. O. Spur, indicating the historical importance of fire lookouts and forest service access in this wilderness. Landmarks like Eagan Point and Goat Basin provide key orientation points for those studying the land use and topography of this Idaho backcountry.
