2013 Map of South Putnam Mountain

About this map

Mt Putnam and the high peaks of the Portneuf Range dominate this section of the Caribou National Forest in southeastern Idaho. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where Ross Fork and its southern fork wind through deep topographic breaks like The Narrows. At the south of the sheet, South Putnam Mtn rises above Buckskin Basin, marking a significant elevation gain from the northern creek beds. The map documents a network of forest and access roads, including Jeff Cabin Rd and W McKee Rd, which provide entry into the various canyons and basins. Water features such as Thirty Day Cr, Farmer Cr, and the Smoke Lateral indicate a terrain where seasonal and managed water flow is essential to the local geography.
