2020 Map of Grandjean

About this map

South Fork Payette River flows through this high-altitude landscape where the Boise National Forest meets the Challis National Forest. The settlement of Grand Jean sits near the riverbanks, serving as a gateway to the Sawtooth Range for hikers and travelers. The presence of Sacajawea Hot Springs along the river highlights the geothermal activity characteristic of this Idaho backcountry. The terrain is marked by steep elevation changes and prominent drainage systems including Wapiti Creek and Canyon Cr. Transportation is limited to narrow corridors like Idaho City-Stanley-SH 21 and various forest spurs such as the Wapiti Flat Spur, which provide access to Wapiti Flat and other remote points. This 2020 record documents the modern trail system, including the Trail Creek and Redfish Creek - Baron Creek routes, essential for navigating the mountain passes.
