2020 Map of Elkhorn Peak

About this map

Whitman National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the Elkhorn Mountains rise to prominent summits like Rock Creek Butte and Elkhorn Peak. The terrain is defined by a series of alpine water bodies, including Goodrich Lake, Twin Lakes, and Rock Creek Lake, which feed the complex drainage network of Rock Cr and Pine Cr. Evidence of early water management is clear through the presence of the Williams Ditch and Nelson Ditch, likely reflecting historical mining or agricultural diversion in this steep mountain environment. Recreation and winter access are noted through the Alder Creek Loop Snowmobile (Snow) and the Pine Cr Reservoir-Ohv area. From the high ridges of the Elkhorn Crest to the lower meadows of Eilertson Meadow, the map traces the intricate relationship between steep topography and the vital water resources that flow through Marble Cr and Mill Cr toward the Baker Valley.
