About this map

The Seven Devils Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Hells Canyon Wilderness, where dramatic peaks like He Devil and She Devil overlook a network of glacial lakes. In the 1990s, the area served as a core segment of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, straddling the border of the Nez Perce National Forest and Payette National Forest. This survey captures a terrain defined by mythological naming conventions, including the Tower of Babel, The Ogre, and Mount Belial.

Evidence of human activity is scattered across the high ridges and creek bottoms, from the Hibbs Cow Camp (Site) to a remote Mine and Tunnel near Carbonate Hill. Further south, the map details the boundary between Idaho and Adams counties near Freezout Ridge. The landscape is dotted with isolated settlements and landmarks such as Horse Heaven and Anchor, reflecting the region's history of seasonal grazing and mineral exploration.
