2011 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Fish Lake and its high-elevation backcountry define this Idaho landscape, where human presence is marked only by isolated outposts and remote infrastructure. The Fish Lake Cabin and the nearby Fish Lake Airport serve as central points in a wilderness area dominated by complex hydrology and named peaks. To the north, Gold Meadows and Sponge Meadows provide open terrain amidst a network of small alpine water bodies including Sponge Lake, Pollywog Lake, and Heslip Lake. Movement through the area relies on natural corridors like Fish Lake Saddle and Tribulation Saddle. The drainage patterns are distinct, with Wounded Doe Creek and Grotto Creek carving through the southern reaches near Rhoda Point, while Barren Ridge stands as a prominent boundary to the east.
