2024 Map of Shellrock Peak

About this map

Shellrock Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation Idaho landscape where three major national forests converge. The map documents the complex boundary intersections of the Payette National Forest, Salmon National Forest, and Boise National Forest. A significant portion of the terrain is dedicated to the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, reflecting a region preserved for its primitive character. Drainage systems like Rush Creek and Trail Creek carve through the steep topography, while high-country destinations such as Norton Lake are accessible via the Norton Lake Trl. The lack of developed roads and the reliance on named paths like the South Fork Rush Creek Trl indicate a remote backcountry environment centered on the Norton Ridge and Brush Creek Summit divides.
