2017 Map of Degan Mountain

About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates this section of the Idaho backcountry, where steep drainages and high ridges dictate the movement of both modern travelers and those from earlier eras. The presence of the Old Indian Trail in the western portion of the map suggests a long history of transit through these mountains, predating the forest service roads that now navigate the terrain. Water sources are critical in this high-elevation landscape, marked by named points such as Sheephorn Spring and Corbett Spring Number 1. Significant peaks including Degan Mtn and Sheephorn Mtn overlook deep basins like Peel Tree Basin and Badger Basin. The map captures a network of specialized routes, from the industrial Haul Rd to various forest service tracks like Fork Off 083 D, reflecting the ongoing management and access requirements of this protected wilderness.
