About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Boise County, where the South Fork Payette River cuts through the northern reaches near the SFP River Access. The area is defined by a network of steep ridgelines and peaks, most notably Jackson Peak, which features the Jackson Peak Lookout and the Jackson Peak Spring Road. A complex system of drainage basins feeds into the Crooked River and Pikes Fork, with numerous named tributaries such as Archie Creek, Fivemile Creek, and Tenmile Creek carving through the mountain passes.

Historical trails and forest service roads provide the primary access to these remote heights, including the Jennie Lake Trl leading to Jennie Lake and the Bear River Trl near Wolf Mtn. The survey highlights the intersection of modern recreation and old forest management, with features like Trapper Flat and Banner Ridge serving as landmarks within the vast timberlands. The presence of the Idaho City-Stanley-SH21 highway along the northern edge indicates the primary corridor through this wilderness area.
