About this map

The Seven Devils Mountains dominate this high-elevation wilderness near the border of Idaho Co and Adams Co. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and mythological nomenclature, including the towering He Devil, She Devil, and the Tower of Babel. Dozens of alpine water bodies are scattered across the peaks, from the large Sheep Lake to the smaller Gem Lake and Echo Lake.

Evidence of historical resource extraction and mountain life is visible in the identification of several former sites. Genealogists and historians can locate the Hibbs Cow Camp (Site) and the Rankin Mill (Site), alongside the Dry Diggins mining area on the northern ridge. The land is largely managed as part of the Hells Canyon Wilderness and Nez Perce National Forest, preserving a landscape of steep drainages like Fall Creek and high ridges such as Dry Diggins Ridge.
