About this map

Redfish Lake dominates the high-elevation terrain of the Sawtooth Range in this early 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by dramatic peaks and alpine waters, serving as a boundary between the Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. A lone outpost of human activity appears at the Redfish Inlet Transfer Camp, situated where Redfish Lake Creek enters the larger lake.

Glacial features are evident in the stair-stepped chain of Lower Cramer Lake, Middle Cramer Lake, and Upper Cramer Lake beneath the shadow of Mt Cramer. Technical climbing landmarks such as the Finger of Fate and the massive Grand Mogul rising above Lily Lake are clearly delineated. For researchers of backcountry history, the map traces early routes like the Bull Moose Trail through the high country of Custer County and Boise County.
