2017 Map of Swanholm Peak

About this map

The Boise National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where the North Fork Boise River cuts a deep path through the high peaks of Boise and Elmore Counties. The 2017 survey reveals a wilderness managed for both natural resources and recreational access, anchored by the Swanholm Lookout atop Swanholm Peak. This high-altitude vantage point overlooks a complex drainage system fed by Big Silver Cr, Graham Cr, and Lodgepole Cr. Small high-mountain basins hold isolated water bodies like Blue Jay Lake and Warrior Lakes, while the presence of the Graham USFS Airport and local labels such as Dead Elk and Bayhouse reflect the specialized needs of forest service operations and backcountry navigation. The map provides a detailed view of the roadless character of the region, emphasizing the primary river corridor and the high ridges of Goat Mtn and Shephard Peak.
