2011 Map of Waugh Mountain

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this Idaho County landscape, defining the topography south of Waugh Mountain. This 2011 survey documents a wilderness area characterized by high ridges and numerous creek drainages, including Phantom Creek, Eagle Creek, and Little Squaw Creek. Human presence is sparse, concentrated at the Lantz Bar Forest Service Facility and the remote Eakin Cabin. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the river bars like Lucky Creek Bar and Spindle Creek Bar to high points such as Lost Packer Peak. Names like Lost Packer Meadows and Fawn Ridge suggest a legacy of backcountry exploration and seasonal use. The intricate network of seasonal and perennial streams illustrates the complex drainage patterns feeding into the Salmon River corridor.
