2013 Map of Hyndman Peak

About this map

Hyndman Peak towers over this section of the Pioneer Mountains within the Sawtooth National Forest. The landscape is defined by high-elevation drainage systems, where the E Fork Wood River and its many tributaries, such as Hyndman Cr and Cove Cr, carve through deep canyons. Historically, this area has served as a key recreation and backcountry destination, evidenced by the presence of Pioneer Cabin high on a ridge and several established campsites including Federal Gulch Campground and Sawmill Campground. The map reveals a complex network of named gulches and draws, like Paymaster Gulch and Hook Draw, which hint at the region's legacy of prospecting and resource extraction. Transportation is limited to rugged forest routes such as the Hyndman Creek Rd and E Fork Rd, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys.
