About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the Idaho backcountry, where the North Fork Range defines the drainage patterns of several critical waterways. The high point at Oro Mtn overlooks a network of timber and forest access roads including Lee Road and Big Creek Road. The geography is characterized by distinct basins and meadows, such as Lost Basin and Stony Meadow, which have historically served as focal points for movement through the wilderness.

Water flows south and west through features like the Middle Fork Payette River and Clear Creek, while ancient geological crossings like Railroad Pass and the Clear Creek Summit provide natural corridors through the terrain. Evidence of seasonal water and land use is found at Robb Springs and across the high-altitude Porcupine Flat, illustrating the remote but managed nature of this National Forest land.
