About this map

The Boise National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where the Middle Fork Boise River flows through the northwest corner along the Atlanta Road. This modern 2023 survey documents a complex network of backcountry drainages and ridges, centered on the Sheep Creek watershed. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, with numerous named tributaries such as Repeat Creek, Pete Creek, and Devils Creek feeding into the larger river systems.

Outdoor researchers and backcountry enthusiasts will find several established pathways through the wilderness, including the William Pogue National Recreational Trl and the Upper Sheep Creek Trl. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between Elmore County and Boise County at the northern edge. The absence of modern development outside of the primitive Bear Gulch Trl and forest service routes reflects the preserved character of this high-elevation interior.
