Buckhorn Hot Spring sits near the confluence of Buckhorn Cr and its southern forks, marking a geothermal landmark within the high elevations of the Payette National Forest. This 2013 survey of Valley County illustrates a landscape defined by sharp divides and a complex drainage system where the Fitsum Cr and Buckhorn basins dominate the geography. Significant peaks, including Fitsum Peak and Nick Peak, provide anchors for the surrounding ridges such as Sixmile Ridge. The map details a network of alpine water bodies like Buckhorn Lake and Rainbow Lakes, which feed the various creek forks. The cartography reveals a wilderness area with limited road access, emphasizing the natural hydrology of the Salmon River Mountains, from the headwaters of Idler Cr to the eastern reach of Homedale Cr.
