2020 Map of Whitehawk Mountain

About this map

Boise National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in Valley County, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Warm Springs Cr and the Middle Fork Warm Springs Cr. The area is centered on the prominent Whitehawk Mtn, a peak served by the high-altitude Whitehawk Lookout. For the researcher, the map details a massive network of Forest Service spurs and timber access roads, including the Whitehawk North Spur and Big Buck South Spur, which trace the ridges between deep basins. Geological and navigational landmarks like Bearskin Meadows and the dual depressions of Whitehawk Basin and Old Whitehawk Basin offer insights into the natural hydrology and historical naming conventions of this backcountry region. The presence of the Warm Springs Overlook suggests the significance of these vistas for fire management and forestry operations in the modern era.
