2024 Map of Degan Mountain

About this map

Salmon National Forest defines the character of this interior Idaho terrain, dominated by the prominent peaks of Degan Mtn and Sheephorn Mtn. The landscape is etched by a complex drainage system including Rattlesnake Creek, Jackass Creek, and Peel Tree Creek, which flow through high-elevation features like Badger Basin and Peel Tree Basin. This 2024 data reveals a network of primitive access routes and historical paths such as the Old Indian Trl and Rattlesnake Trl, which connect the remote ridges and springs. Vital water sources for the region, including Sheephorn Spring and Corbett Spring Number 1, are documented alongside Forest Service infrastructure like Nat For Dev Rd 028 and Iron Creek Rd. The map illustrates the specialized nomenclature of the Salmon River mountains, reflecting a legacy of resource management and back-country exploration.
