2013 Map of Nahneke Mountain

About this map

Overlook Mill sits at the base of the mountains in this high-altitude corner of the Boise National Forest, serving as a rare industrial marker in a landscape defined by sharp peaks and alpine basins. The topography is dominated by prominent summits including Nahneke Mtn, Smoky Peak, and Big Buck Mtn, which overlook a complex network of drainage systems. The Little Queens River and Black Warrior Cr carve deep paths through the terrain, fed by numerous high-elevation water bodies like Alidade Lake, Rock Island Lake, and Azure Lake. These lakes are clustered primarily in the eastern half of the quadrangle, often situated in glacial cirques below ridges like Browns Peak. The map provides a detailed view of the 2013 wilderness character of the Boise and Elmore County border, where remote trails and seasonal waterways are the primary features of the land.
