About this map

Parker Mine and the nearby Rideout Mine are situated in the southern reaches of this high-elevation terrain along the Idaho and British Columbia border. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Grass Creek and Blue Joe Creek flow through the valleys west of Grass Mountain. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service documents a network of forest access routes, such as Grass Creek Rd and Blue Joe Creek Rd, which provide the primary connectivity through these remote peaks.

Water features are abundant across the higher elevations, including isolated bodies like Search Lake, Saddle Lake, and Hidden Lake. The map illustrates the headwaters of several drainages, such as Marsh Creek and Cow Creek, which carve through the land between Saddle Mountain and Joe Peak. This collection of named peaks and small alpine lakes suggests a region primarily used for resource extraction and outdoor navigation at the start of the twenty-first century.
