About this map

Barth Hot Springs lies along the river corridor at the southern edge of this wilderness region, marking a rare geothermal landmark within a landscape defined by high summits and deep drainages. The area is characterized by river bars such as Deer Park Bar, Bear Bar, and Nixon Bar, which suggest historically significant landing or flat-ground locations along the winding watercourse. Higher elevations are anchored by Sheep Hill and Center Mtn, with notable crossing points like Dead Man Saddle indicating the primary paths through the high country.

The administrative convergence of the Nez Perce National Forest, Payette National Forest, and Bitterroot National Forest underscores the remote, protected nature of this terrain in the early 21st century. Drainage networks including Rattlesnake Cr and Canyon Cr feed into the larger river system, while alpine features like Lake Cr Lakes and Rattlesnake Lake occupy the high basins below peaks like Ring Creek Point.
