2020 Map of Tyndall Meadows

About this map

Tyndall Meadows and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Boise National Forest define this 2020 landscape in Valley County. The area serves as a critical hydrologic divide where the headwaters of numerous drainages emerge, including Johnson Creek, Rock Creek, and the East Fork Deadwood River. Transportation through this steep geography is limited to established routes like the Stanley-Warm Lake road and the Tyndall - Sulphur path, which navigates the heights of Deadwood Summit. Small alpine water bodies, notably Bear Creek Lake and Sheepherder Lake, are scattered throughout the northern and southern reaches. The map illustrates a remote wilderness character where prominent landforms like Blue Point Ridge and Tyndall Ridge dictate the flow of both water and travel.
