About this map

Mores Creek winds through this Boise County landscape, serving as a central artery for a region defined by high peaks and seasonal retreats in the early 21st century. The map highlights the Tenmile Summer Home Area, a distinct residential pocket near the confluence of Tenmile Creek, alongside several established recreational sites including Bad Bear Campground and Camp Ee Da How. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Pilot Peak and Wilson Peak, which overlook a complex network of forest roads and drainages.

Transportation through this high-altitude corridor relies on routes like Summit Flat Rd and Hayfork Rd, connecting isolated landmarks such as Coulter Corral with the more traveled passage over Mores Creek Summit. The naming conventions found throughout the quadrangle, from Whoop Um Up Creek to American Girl Gulch, reflect the area's heritage and its enduring role as a destination for backcountry exploration and seasonal living.
