About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this 2013 survey, defined by a complex network of drainages and high-elevation ridgelines. The landscape is oriented around the Deadwood River which flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by numerous named tributaries including Lorenzo Cr and Meadow Camp Cr. The presence of the Packsaddle Campground and Scott Mountain Rd indicates the area's primary use for recreation and forest management within the Central Idaho wilderness.

Evidence of early access and naming conventions can be seen in the various creek names that delineate the drainage basins, such as Ninemile Cr and S Fork Scott Cr. To the south, the terrain descends toward Box Canyon and the Middle Fork Big Pine Cr. The boundary between Valley and Boise counties cuts directly through the northern section, marking a remote political divide across these steep mountain slopes.
