2020 Map of Sheep Creek

About this map

Boise National Forest and the William Pogue National Recreat area dominate this central Idaho landscape, where the North Fork Boise River and Middle Fork Boise River converge. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, rising from the river canyons toward summits like Sheep Mtn. The historic Atlanta Road snakes along the riverbank, providing the primary access through this steep terrain. The drainage network is dense and complex, with numerous named seasonal and perennial flows including Devils Creek, Big Five Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr cutting through deep draws like Dobson Gulch and Bear Gulch. This 2020 survey documents the modern wilderness boundaries and access routes in the high country of Elmore County, essential for understanding the hydrology and land management of the Boise River watershed.
