About this map

Deep Creek Peak stands as the primary landmark within this high-elevation section of the Deep Creek Mountains on the border of Power and Oneida Counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and ridges, where named features like Wheeler Canyon, Sawmill Canyon, and Portage Canyon suggest a history of resource extraction and seasonal access. A complex system of unpaved tracks, including Portage Canyon Rd and Knox Canyon Rd, provides the only passage through these steep corridors.

In the southern reaches, the terrain descends toward Bear Hollow and Yates Canyon, while the headwaters of Bannock Cr emerge in the southeast. This map captures the area as a modern wilderness management zone, characterized by its isolation and the naming of specific topographical forks such as Left Fork Knox Canyon. The absence of permanent settlements highlights the transition from lower valley agriculture to the high-country range and timber lands of the Idaho interior.
