About this map

Ketchum serves as the eastern anchor of this Idaho landscape, where the Big Wood River valley meets the expansive Sawtooth National Forest. The map documents a recreation-heavy terrain defined by the massif of Bald Mtn and the numerous gulches that drain toward the town, including Adams Gulch and Cold Spring Gulch. Geothermal activity is a notable characteristic of the area, evidenced by the presence of Guyer Hot Springs near Warm Springs Cr and Warfield Hot Spring further west.

The distribution of local landmarks such as Dollar Lake and Penny Lake highlights the transition from the developed valley floor to the protected forest lands. The network of trails and secondary roads, including the River Run Trail and Warm Springs Rd, illustrates the integration of the town's residential outskirts with the surrounding mountain slopes. Local topography is further marked by prominent summits like Griffin Butte and named drainages such as Moonlight Gulch and Alturas Gulch.
