About this map

The Sawtooth Range dominates this landscape within the Sawtooth National Forest, where high-elevation drainage systems define the local geography. In the northern reaches, the Sawtooth Valley opens up, fed by the headwaters of the Salmon River. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, including Smiley Cr and Frenchman Cr, which are paralleled by backcountry access routes like Smiley Creek Rd and Frenchman Creek Rd.

Evidence of past resource use is found in labels such as Sawmill Canyon and Mill Gulch, while the southern portion of the sheet is characterized by the branching forks of the Big Smoky system, notably W Fork Big Smoky Creek. This 2020 edition provides a precise look at the boundary between Blaine and Camas counties as it traverses the high ridges, offering a clear picture of the modern forest management and hydrological patterns in this part of central Idaho.
