About this map

Boise National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in Boise County, where the South Fork Payette River carves a deep path through the northern landscape. This 2013 survey documents a remote wilderness defined by steep drainages and prominent peaks, including Archie Mtn and Wolf Mtn. The watershed is particularly intricate, with the Crooked River and Pikes Fork feeding into larger systems, while high-altitude features like Jennie Lake provide clear evidence of the area's glacial and hydrological history.

Access to this backcountry is marked by the Helende Campground near the riverbanks and a limited network of forest routes such as Seven Peaks Rd. Notable landmarks for navigation and local history include Banner Ridge and Trappers Flat, which reflect the area's use for recreation and seasonal transit. The map's detail provides a clear view of the complex tributary system, including Tenmile Cr, Eightmile Cr, and the appropriately named Willis Gulch.
