2017 Map of Deep Creek Peak

About this map

Deep Creek Peak dominates the high-elevation landscape of the Deep Creek Mountains along the boundary between Power and Oneida counties. This terrain is characterized by a series of significant drainages and canyons, including Wheeler Canyon, Sawmill Canyon, and Reservoir Canyon, which channel water toward the lower elevations. The map reveals a network of primitive and improved routes used for mountain access, such as Portage Canyon Rd and Bull Canyon Rd. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the topography softens slightly near Bear Hollow and the headwaters of Bannock Cr. The naming of features like Left Fork Knox Canyon and Yates Canyon reflects a history of local land use and geographic identification in this high Idaho backcountry during the early twenty-first century.
