About this map

Boise National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Valley County, centered on the prominent peak of Whitehawk Mountain. The area is defined by a complex drainage system where Warm Springs Creek and the South Fork Deer Creek carve through the terrain. The presence of the Whitehawk Lookout suggests the strategic importance of this summit for fire observation across the surrounding timberlands.

A network of forest service roads and spurs, including the Scott Mtn-Deadwood route and numerous Whitehawk Spurs, illustrates the modern management of these public lands. To the east, the terrain descends toward Bearskin Meadows, while the western edge is marked by Deadwood Ridge and the secluded Whitehawk Basin. The map captures a wilderness area shaped by both natural watercourses like Wilson Creek and the infrastructure required to monitor and maintain the interior of the Idaho backcountry.
