2024 Map of Galena

About this map

Galena Pioneer Cem and the small settlement of Galena anchor the northern reaches of this high-elevation landscape, where the Big Wood River begins its course. Situated along the boundary between Blaine and Camas counties, the terrain is defined by the high crests of the Smoky Mountains and the Sawtooth Range. Prominent summits including Norton Peak and Bromaghin Peak tower over a complex network of alpine basins containing Norton Lakes, Prairie Lakes, and Mill Lake. This modern survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by historic transit and recreation, preserving the route of the Old Toll Road Tr and a vast system of backcountry paths such as the Titus Creek Loop-Ski Tr and Cherry Ridge Ski Tr. The presence of The Grinder and multiple named gulches like Quinnlin Gulch suggests a history of local resource extraction and rugged mountaineering within the Sawtooth National Forest.
