About this map

Warbonnet Peak and the surrounding high-elevation basins define this 1970s survey of the central Sawtooth Range. The landscape is dominated by the Sawtooth Wilderness, where numerous alpine water bodies like Baron Lake, Stephens Lakes, and Little Warbonnet Lake occupy glacial cirques. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, showing the headwaters of the South Fork Payette River and its tributaries such as Goat Creek and Fall Creek.

Historical boundaries between Custer and Boise Counties bisect the summits, marking a divide between the Boise National Forest and the Sawtooth National Forest. This era of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area is documented through its network of unnamed Trails and Pack Trails, linking remote landmarks like Monte Verita and Fern Falls. The map provides a detailed record of the physical geography before modern recreational pressures, centering on the granite spires of Packrat Peak and Tohobit Peak.
