2024 Map of Scott Creek

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape where the Valley and Boise county line follows the divide between the Deadwood River and the upper reaches of Scott Creek. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including the Scott Mountain-Lookout and Scott Mtn-Deadwood, which command views over the complex drainage systems of Packsaddle Creek and Ninemile Creek. Human impact is visible through a network of forestry access routes such as Six Mile Spur and Ninemile Spur, alongside recreational paths like the Nellies Basin Trl and Julie Creek Trl. A rare named structural point, Camptender, is situated near Little Sams Creek, suggesting the area's ongoing use for forest management and back-country access. The map captures the intricate hydrology of the region, from the steep walls of Box Canyon to the alpine meadows of Nellies Basin.
