2013 Map of Deer Heaven Mountain

About this map

Deer Heaven Mtn towers over a landscape defined by its vital water sources in this high-altitude corner of Elmore County. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Thorn Cr, King Hill Cr, and Deer Heaven Cr, which carry runoff from the surrounding peaks. This 2013 survey illustrates the critical importance of isolated water points in the high desert, documenting a series of named springs including Bourbon Spring, Whiskey Spring, and Thoroughbred Spring. These features, alongside landmarks like Walker Gulch and the steep Devils Dive, provide essential orientation for navigation through the remote backcountry. The presence of Hill City Rd in the northwestern corner serves as a primary transit link through this otherwise undeveloped Idaho wilderness.
