2023 Map of Rocky Bar

About this map

Rocky Bar serves as the focal point of this mountainous region within the Boise National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. The landscape is defined by steep drainages and prominent peaks like Steel Mtn and Horse Ranch Mtn. Two distinct burial sites, the Rocky Bar Cem and the Rocky Bar Bear Creek Cem, offer primary reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking early inhabitants of this Idaho back country. The intricate network of Forest Service roads, including the Lincoln Creek Loop, follows the natural contours of the terrain. High-altitude wetlands such as Dismal Swamp and numerous watercourses like the Feather River and Whiskey Jack Creek demonstrate the complex hydrology of the Trinity Ridge area. The map illustrates how human activity, from cemeteries to roadways, remains concentrated along the gulches and creek beds that carve through the high elevations.
