2011 Map of Mosquito Peak

About this map

Chamberlain Creek and its many tributaries, including the South Fork Chamberlain Creek, dominate this high-elevation Idaho landscape. Recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2011, this area represents a dense network of mountain drainage systems and wet meadows rather than human settlement. The presence of Mosquito Lake and the nearby Moose Jaw Meadow suggests a seasonally significant terrain for wildlife and backcountry travel. While roads are virtually absent, the intricate system of named waterways like Moose Creek, Beaver Creek, and Hand Creek indicates a region where terrain is defined entirely by the flow of water through the backcountry. This survey provides a precise account of the wilderness hydrology and topography of central Idaho as it existed in the early 21st century.
