About this map

Hyndman Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by dramatic vertical relief, where peaks like Cobb Peak and Johnstone Peak overlook deep basins and gulches. Human presence is marked by a network of seasonal access points and historic trails, most notably the Pioneer Cabin located near Long Gulch. The drainage systems are well-defined, with the E Fork Wood River and its numerous tributaries, such as Hyndman Creek and Johnstone Creek, carving through the terrain.

The map reveals the area's geological and utilitarian character, from the Scree Quarry in the south to named features suggesting early industrial or pastoral activity, such as Paymaster Gulch and Sawmill Gulch. A series of canyons and draws, including Deadend Canyon and Timber Draw, provide a detailed inventory of the drainage patterns essential for backcountry navigation. The transition between forest boundaries is clearly delineated, alongside established routes like E Fork Rd and the Driveway Trail.
