About this map

Rocky Bar sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the Boise National Forest meets the Sawtooth National Forest. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Steel Mtn and Horse Ranch Mtn, dropping into deep drainages carved by the Feather River and its numerous tributaries. A complex network of gulches—including Blake Gulch, Dry Gulch, and the evocative Hardscrabble Gulch—suggests a history of rugged resource extraction and prospecting.

Modern infrastructure is represented by forest routes such as Upper Buck Creek and the Lincoln Creek Loop, which provide access to remote areas like Dismal Swamp and Trinity Ridge. The hydrological patterns are particularly intricate here, with named waterways like Whiskey Jack Cr and Rainbow Cr flowing through the T4N R9E and R10E townships, illustrating the vital water resources that have long shaped land use in Elmore County.
