About this map

Ibex Peak rises as the central landmark in this high-elevation corner of the Sawtooth National Forest in Cassia County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of springs and drainage forks that feed the area's hydrology, including the Right Hand-Fork Beaverdam Creek and the Left-Hand-Fork-Beaverdam Creek. Local topography is punctuated by named crossings and basins like Beaverdam Pass and Joes Basin, which historically served as key transit points through the high country.

Water sources are remarkably well-documented here, featuring family-named or descriptive locations such as Mabey Spring, Owens Corral Spring, and Orangeburg Spring. These named water points, alongside features like Daves Pass and the N E Canyon, provide a detailed look at the rural navigation and land-use patterns in this part of Idaho. The network of trails, including the Badger Gulch Beaverdam Pass Trl, further illustrates the area's reliance on pack and forest routes for movement through the Sawtooth range.
