About this map

Mormon Mtn and Sheep Horn Mtn anchor the high country of Central Idaho, where the administrative boundaries of the Payette National Forest and Salmon National Forest meet. This terrain is defined by the deep drainage systems of Big Creek and Rush Creek, with water carved into steep canyons from high points like Rush Creek Point.

Evidence of historical use in this wilderness is seen in labels such as Bear Trap Saddle and Telephone Creek, which suggest the early pack trails and communication lines used by forest rangers and early explorers. The map details the complex geography of high-altitude basins, including Browns Basin and Lobauer Basin, providing a precise look at the drainage patterns of the North Fork Rush Creek and W Fork Rush Cr.
