2023 Map of Galena Peak

About this map

Galena Peak anchors the southern reaches of this high-elevation terrain, where the headwaters of the East Fork Salmon River and its multiple tributaries carve through the Boulder Mountains. This remote landscape is defined by its vast protected areas, including the White Clouds Wilderness to the north and the Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness further south, both situated within the Sawtooth National Forest. The map documents a primitive network of routes like the Washington Lake Trl and Grand Prize Trl, which follow the natural drainage patterns of Germania Creek and the West Fork East Fork Salmon River. This area represents the high-alpine transition where the Custer and Blaine County line meets the rugged watershed that feeds the Salmon River system.
