About this map

Galena sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation terrain, where State Hwy 75 climbs toward the Galena Summit. This 2013 survey captures the headwaters of the Big Wood River as it carves through the Sawtooth National Forest. The geography is defined by steep drainages like Enid Gulch and Miner Canyon, which separate prominent summits such as Bromaghin Peak and Norton Peak.

Evidence of the area's pioneer history is preserved at the Galena / Pioneer Cem, located near the intersection of the highway and Owl Creek Rd. To the south, the landscape transitions into the Smoky Mountains, featuring a series of alpine water bodies including Titus Lake, Norton Lakes, and Prairie Lakes. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between Blaine and Camas counties near the deep incision of Blind Canyon.
