2017 Map of Rice Peak

About this map

Stolle Meadows sits as a central landmark in this high-elevation portion of the Boise National Forest, where the S Fork Salmon River carves through the Idaho landscape. The map highlights a remote terrain defined by hydrothermal activity at Vulcan Hot Springs and steep elevations culminating at Rice Peak. Transportation is largely restricted to forest roads and trails, including the Telephone Ridge and Yellow Jacket routes, which navigate the ridges separating numerous drainages such as Tyndall Creek and Lodgepole Creek. The distribution of features like Cougar Rock and Flat Camp suggests a landscape utilized primarily for forest management and seasonal recreation. Researchers can trace the network of small alpine water bodies like Rice Lake and the various tributaries that feed the regional river system.
