1985 Map of Sage Hen Reservoir

About this map

Sage Hen Reservoir serves as the central focal point for this mountain landscape within the Boise National Forest. The 1981 field check records a network of drainage systems and high-elevation meadows, including Tripod Meadow and Pine Creek Meadow, which define the local geography. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the Gem and Valley county line traverses high ridges and peaks like Tripod Summit. A complex web of watercourses, such as Sage Hen Creek, Squaw Creek, and the Muir Fork, feeds the reservoir, supporting various campgrounds noted along the shoreline. These features suggest an area established for resource management and mountain recreation during the early 1980s, preserving the layout of forest roads and remote basins like Sage Hen Basin before more modern developments.
