2017 Map of Mahoney Butte

About this map

Clarendon Hot Springs serves as a focal point in this portion of the Sawtooth National Forest, where the Idaho landscape is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks. The nomenclature of the terrain, including Jolly Sailor Gulch, Narrow Gauge Gulch, and Bullion Gulch, suggests a history tied to early prospecting and resource extraction in Blaine County. These features are carved into the slopes surrounding the prominent Mahoney Butte, with drainage provided by the winding Deer Creek and its many tributaries like Wolf Tone Creek. Modern access is represented by forest roads and recreational paths such as the Two Dog Trail and Lambs Gulch Trail, illustrating how the area has shifted from industrial potential to a landscape of conservation and wilderness recreation.
