About this map

Cedar Creek Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this 2001 revision of the eastern Sawtooth National Forest landscape. The topography is defined by a dense network of drainages and named canyons, including North Heglar Canyon, Mill Canyon, and Rock Canyon, which cut through the high elevations of the Sublett Range. This era of the forest management is characterized by a balance of recreation and resource history, evidenced by the Snowmobile Trailhead near Elbow Canyon and several Prospect sites located south of Bruce Young Spring.

The map reveals a high concentration of water sources critical for high-desert survival and ranching, such as Clint Palmer Spring, Ether Park Spring, and Quaking Aspen Spring. Traces of small-scale mining activity are visible at a Mine Dump near the Indian Fork, while utility infrastructure is marked by the Cassia Co Power Co line. These features together show a high-altitude territory utilized for its seasonal water and mineral potential.
