About this map

Pistol Lake and the high ridges of the Boise National Forest dominate this section of Idaho's wilderness as it appeared in 2013. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Burntlog Creek and its eastern fork meet the waters of Thirty-eight Creek and Boomerang Creek. These waterways carve through prominent peaks like Lake Mountain and Little Baldy, creating a steep environment managed by the U.S. Forest Service.

Access to this backcountry is marked by specialized routes such as Lucky Lad Road, Burnt Log Road, and Nat For Dev Rd 447. Notable crossings and high points include Snowshoe Summit and the southern reaches of Pistol Creek Ridge. Smaller water bodies like Peanut Creek and Mud Lake provide essential reference points for those navigating the transition from the North Fork Sand Creek drainage into the Pistol Creek basin.
