About this map

Boise National Forest defines this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where steep drainages feed the headwaters of numerous creeks including Grimes Creek, Mores Creek, and Tenmile Creek. The area is characterized by prominent peaks and mountain passes, notably Pilot Peak, Wilson Peak, and Mores Creek Summit. While largely uninhabited, the presence of Summit Flat and Coulter Corral suggests a history of livestock management and movement through these ridgelines.

Modern recreation and access are concentrated along Hayfork Road and Rough Creek Road, which provide entry to several established forest sites. Features like Bad Bear Campground, Tenmile Campground, and the uniquely named Camp Ee Da How indicate the long-standing use of these creek bottoms for seasonal encampments. The southeastern corner is anchored by the namesake Sunset Mountain, while the southern reaches drop into American Girl Gulch, a name reflecting the region's mining heritage.
