2013 Map of Swanholm Peak

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Elmore and Boise counties, where the N Fork Boise River cuts a deep path through the mountains. The area around Graham Peak serves as a focal point for backcountry aviation and historic industrial activity, centered on the Graham USFS Airport and the nearby Graham Mill. This 2013 survey illustrates a wilderness infrastructure designed for forest management and recreation, with sites like the Graham Bridge Campground and Johnson Creek Campground providing access to the river valley. The topography is defined by significant summits including Shephard Peak, Goat Mtn, and Swanholm Peak. Water features are abundant, from alpine basins like Warrior Lakes and Blue Jay Lake to the complex network of drainages including Johnson Cr and Lodgepole Cr that feed into the larger river system.
