2011 Map of Poker Peak

About this map

Poker Peak stands as the high point of this high-elevation landscape in eastern Idaho, where a complex network of waterways feeds into the Palisades Reservoir. The drainages of McCoy Creek and Jensen Creek define the local topography, carving through features like Little Box Canyon and Jensen Meadow. This area is primarily accessed via forest infrastructure such as the Mc Coy Creek Rd and various development roads that follow the winding creek beds. The map illustrates a watershed-driven environment where named landmarks like Chicken Ridge provide orientation between the numerous forks and creeks, including Sulphur Bar Creek and Big Spring Creek. For researchers and outdoorsmen, the layout of these primary roads and water sources offers a precise look at the backcountry geography and early 21st-century access points within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest area.
