About this map

The high sage and timbered slopes of the Sawtooth National Forest dominate this 2017 survey of the Wood River Valley’s western reaches. The settlement of Doniphan sits near the headwaters of Camp Cr, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of gulches and canyons, including Black Cinder Gulch, Red Elephant Gulch, and Guy Canyon.

Evidence of historical mining and ranching infrastructure remains visible through the names of various roads and flats. For instance, Gilman Flat and Camas Flats indicate relatively level agricultural or grazing land amidst the steep topography of Kelly Mtn and Rocky Butte. The map also captures the intricate drainage system where Croy Cr meets its numerous tributaries, such as Wolfstone Cr and Poison Cr, providing a detailed view of the water sources that have sustained development in Blaine County.
