2011 Map of Elk Meadow

About this map

Valley Creek and its many tributaries, including East Fork Valley Creek and Meadow Creek, define this central Idaho drainage basin. The landscape is marked by high-altitude features such as Elk Mountain and the expansive Elk Meadow, which provide a clear picture of the region's natural character. Transportation and recreational corridors follow the water, with the Sheep Trail Campground and several roadside stopping points like the Trap Creek Rest Area and Park Creek Overlook situated along the primary routes. The presence of the Silva Ranch Airport near Stanley Lake Rd suggests the importance of aerial access in this high mountain environment. From the tight passage at Trap Creek Narrows to the secluded Hidden Lake, the map documents a terrain where drainage patterns and forest service roads like Cape Horn Rd dictate human movement and settlement patterns.
