About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest dominates this section of the Soldier Mountains, where high ridges and deep drainage basins define the Idaho backcountry. Waterways like Big Deer Creek and Lime Creek flow through narrow gulches, reflecting a landscape shaped by snowmelt and seasonal runoff. Modern backcountry access is represented by a network of established paths, including the Deer Creek Ridge Trl and Slickear Trl, which follow the natural contours of the mountain crests.

Moores Flat sits in the southwestern portion of the map, a notable level area in an otherwise high-relief environment. The map details numerous named features like Sprout Mtn and Beaverdam Gulch, providing a clear view of the drainage systems feeding into Salix Creek and Moores Creek. This 2023 survey serves as a precise guide to the topographical complexity of Elmore County, tracing trails like the Malkomsens to Chimney Creek Trl across the high-elevation terrain.
