2004 Map of Papoose Peak

About this map

Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness dominates the central and southern reaches of this landscape, representing a massive expanse of protected interior. Situated along the boundary of Idaho and Valley Counties, the terrain is defined by high ridgelines including Farrow Mtn and Black Butte. The network of drainage systems is complex, with Coyote Creek and Papoose Creek cutting deep canyons through the Salmon National Forest and Payette National Forest. This 2004 revision reveals the primitive transportation network of the early 21st century, relying on foot and horse paths like the Stoddard Trail and Coyote Trail rather than modern roads. High-altitude water features such as Papoose Lake serve as key landmarks for backcountry navigation within the Krassel Ranger District.
