About this map

Pony Meadows and the surrounding Idaho high country are defined by a network of drainage basins and mountain passes as they appeared in 2011. This territory is primarily managed via the Natl Forest Develop Road 340 Rd and the historic Warren Wagon Rd, which skirt the northern boundaries near Steamboat Summit and Warren Summit. The landscape is a complex system of creek headwaters, including the significant Bear Creek and Steamboat Creek drainages.

Remote alpine water bodies like Steamboat Lake, Bear Lake, and Blue Lake sit tucked between the ridges. The distribution of high-altitude clearings such as Keystone Meadows and Little Pony Meadows suggests a land used for seasonal grazing or wilderness management. Several named gulches, including Charity Gulch and Willey Gulch, indicate a history of local geographic identification probably tied to early exploration or mineral prospecting in this section of Idaho County.
