2017 Map of Mahogany Butte

About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in southern Idaho, where a complex network of springs and creek forks feeds the regional watershed. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Willow Creek Peak and Swanty Peak, alongside the namesake Mahogany Butte. Water sources are densely clustered across the slopes, with unique labels such as Thoroughbred Pond Spring, Right Hand Fork Spring, and Elk Basin Spring providing critical water in this arid environment. This 2017 survey details the complex topography of the Sawtooth range, documenting essential mountain crossings like Deerhorn Pass and Trout Creek Pass. The map reveals a backcountry landscape where named landmarks like Dads Hump, Joes Mtn, and Johnnys Canyon suggest a history of local usage and surveying. Significant drainages such as Thoroughbred Cr and Badger Cr carve through the high-elevation sections, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this part of Cassia County.
