2024 Map of Sage Hen Reservoir

About this map

Sage Hen Reservoir serves as a central landmark within the Boise National Forest at the transition between the West Mountains and the lower meadows. This part of Gem and Valley Counties is defined by its network of watercourses, including Sage Hen Creek and Pine Creek, which drain the surrounding timbered flats and gulches. The landscape is marked by a complex system of Forest Service trails, such as the Sagehen H Trl and West Mountain Trl, which provide access to high-elevation points like Tripod Summit. To the east, the terrain opens into High Valley and Tripod Meadow, suggesting a history of seasonal grazing and timber management. The presence of the Ola Smiths Ferry road indicates historical transit corridors through this mountainous region, connecting the reservoir area to wider valley settlements.
