2011 Map of Jumbo Mountain

About this map

Gardner Creek Corral and Kelley Creek Corral stand as markers of livestock management along the South Fork Boise River corridor in this Idaho high-country survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage systems, including Beaver Creek, Deadwood Creek, and the many gulches like Van Gulch and Gardner Gulch that feed into the main river channel. High peaks such as Jumbo Mountain and Iron Mountain anchor the topography, with Heart Lake providing a rare still-water feature among the numerous streams. This area serves primarily as a recreational and resource management zone, evidenced by established sites like Baumgartner Campground and Bighorn Campground near the river. The concentration of water sources, from Middle Fork Lime Creek to Cold Spring Creek, illustrates the complex hydrologic network of Elmore County, supporting a wilderness-focused economy accessed by routes like Nat For Dev Rd 227.
