2013 Map of Rice Peak

About this map

Vulcan Hot Springs and the headwaters of the S Fork Salmon River dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Boise National Forest. The 2013 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by its drainage basins, where water flows from the heights of Rice Peak through Rice Cr and Cupp Cr. Central to the area is Stolle Meadows, a notable flat clearing accessed by Stolle Meadows Rd and bordered by Lodgepole Cr. The map's detail provides a specialized look at the forest's internal road system, including numbered tracks like 474 and 471, which service the remote terrain around Cougar Rock. This documentation reflects the modern management of these Idaho backcountry resources, showing the relationship between thermal features, alpine lakes like Rice Lake, and the surrounding peaks.
