About this map

Shellrock Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation mountain terrain within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The map illustrates a complex convergence of forest jurisdictions, where the Payette National Forest meets the Boise National Forest and the Salmon National Forest. This remote landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the headwaters of Telephone Creek and South Fork Brush Creek, which carve deep valleys around the high summits of Two Point Peak and Norton Ridge.

Administrative boundaries and historical access routes characterize the survey, featuring the Krassel Ranger Trail and Norton Ridge Trail as primary paths through the backcountry. Notable geological and navigational points such as Brush Creek Summit and the high-alpine Norton Lake provide essential reference points for this protected wilderness. The absence of roads and modern development highlights the primitive state of the region as recorded during this early 21st-century revision.
