2011 Map of Hanover Mountain

About this map

High-altitude hydrology and forest access define this 2011 topographic survey of the central Idaho backcountry. The landscape is characterized by a high density of alpine basins, featuring Upper Slate Lake, Indigo Lake, and Emerald Lake. The drainages of Slate Creek and the Wind River dominate the northern and eastern portions of the map, while Hanover Creek flows through the central area. Human impact is primarily restricted to specialized forest management infrastructure, such as Moores Station Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 313, which provide access to this remote terrain. Researchers can observe the complex network of mountain streams, including Bentz Creek and Little Boulder Creek, which drain the ridges around Upper Knob Lake.
