About this map

Clarendon Hot Springs serves as a central landmark in this portion of the Sawtooth National Forest in Blaine County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of gulches with evocative names, suggesting a history of mineral exploration and labor, including War Dance Gulch, Jolly Sailor Gulch, and Narrow Gauge Gulch. These features, along with Bullion Gulch and Democrat Gulch, point toward the region's mining heritage and the rugged routes established to access high-elevation claims. Water sources like Deer Creek and Wolftone Creek provide the primary drainage for the area, supporting recreation at sites like Wolftone Campground and the Deer Creek Bridge Campground. The presence of Greenhorn Rd and the Greenhorn Loop further illustrates the established transition from resource extraction to modern forest management and recreational access.
