2017 Map of Wild Buck Peak

About this map

Wild Buck Peak and the high ridges of the Boise National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Rocky Peak in the north and Monumental Peak further south, which overlook a complex drainage system feeding the S Fork Salmon River. The map documents a rugged interior accessible by established paths like the Stratton Creek Trail and the curiously named Cup Corral Cutoff, illustrating how modern forest management maintains traditional routes through the backcountry. Notable water features such as Long Lake and the Stratton Basin area sit among the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Sixteen-to-one Cr and Bull Creek. This 2017 survey reflects the contemporary topography and hydrography of the Salmon River Mountains, detailing the numerous drainages like Bitter Creek and Goat Cr that carve the steep slopes of the Boise National Forest.
