2013 Map of Paradise Peak

About this map

Skillern Hot Springs sits along the banks of Big Smoky Cr within this high-elevation portion of the Sawtooth National Forest. This 2013 survey highlights the complex drainage systems that define this part of Camas County, where Snowslide Cr and Skillern Cr flow from peaks like Paradise Peak and Skillern Peak. The presence of Canyon Campground at the confluence of Canyon Cr and Big Smoky Creek suggests the area's continued importance for recreation and backcountry access via Forest Service road 085. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, moving from the creek bottoms up to high landmarks such as Elk Point and through deep incisions like Pinyon Gulch. The map also preserves the Public Land Survey System grid, including various land parcels such as PB 40 and PB 45.
