About this map

Mount Ellen Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in the Henry Mountains, where the topography transitions from high alpine ridges to complex canyon systems. The area's resource history is evidenced by the presence of the Bromide Mine tucked into Bromide Basin, while the Sawmill Basin Rd provides access to the timbered northern reaches near Sawmill Basin.

A network of springs and basins defines the local hydrology, with McClellan Spring and Birch Spring serving as vital water sources in this arid environment. The naming of features like Nasty Flat, Durfey Butte, and Kimble and Turner Peak reflects the deep ties of early ranchers and prospectors to this terrain. Recreational development is represented by the Lonesome Beaver Campground, positioned near the headwaters of Bull Creek and the high saddles of Wickiup Pass.
