About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Valley County, characterized by a complex network of creeks and prominent ridges. The geography is defined by the headwaters of the Deadwood River and its various forks, including the E Fork Deadwood River. Notable high-country features such as Tyndall Meadows and the nearby Tyndall Ridge provide insight into the drainage patterns that feed into Johnson Cr and Sulphur Creek.

Transportation through this isolated terrain is represented by the Stanley-Warm Lake road, which crosses the Deadwood Summit at a critical drainage divide. Collectors and historians can trace the paths of water from alpine sources like Bear Creek Lake and Sheepherder Lake through the deep valleys of Lodgepole Creek and Boulder Rock Creek, illustrating the remote and untouched character of this section of the Idaho backcountry.
