2024 Map of Miller Mountain East

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain along the border of Valley and Boise counties. The landscape is defined by the significant drainage network of Bear Valley Creek and Clear Creek, which carve through the slopes between peaks like Red Mountain and Miller Mtn. This modern survey reveals a specialized network of forest access routes, including the Lowman-Bear Valley road and the Eastside Road, which serve as the primary conduits for traversing these ridges. The prevalence of established backcountry routes like the Kirkham Ridge Trl and Clear Creek Trl suggests a landscape managed for wilderness access and watershed protection. Historical spur roads, such as Monument Creek Spur 2 and West Elk Horn Cr Spur, indicate the long-standing infrastructure of resource management and exploration in this portion of the Idaho interior.
