2020 Map of Sydney Butte

About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates this section of Camas County, where the high ridges of the Soldier Mountains meet a complex drainage system of creeks and canyons. The presence of Worswick Hot Springs and Preis Hot Spring suggests the geothermal activity common to this part of the Idaho wilderness. High-altitude landmarks like Sydney Butte, Grindstone Big Peak, and the distinctive Indian Head Rock serve as primary navigational anchors for the area. The map illustrates a landscape defined by seasonal access and rugged transit, featuring the Couch Summit crossing and several forest development roads. Waterways such as Big Smoky Creek and the N Fork Soldier Cr carve deep through the terrain, creating significant landforms like Wash Canyon and McHan Gulch.
