2020 Map of Wild Buck Peak

About this map

Boise National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the central Idaho backcountry, dominated by the peaks of the Salmon River Mountains. The drainage network is particularly intricate here, featuring the headwaters of the S Fork Salmon River and the high-elevation Long Lake situated beneath Rocky Peak. The map documents a primitive transportation network consisting of forest service roads and specialized paths like the Cup Corral Cutoff and the Stratton Creek Trail. These routes navigate steep vertical relief between landmarks like Monumental Peak and Wild Buck Peak. The alignment of trails and creek names, such as Sixteen-to-one Cr and Bitter Creek-Silver Creek, reflects the region's history of remote exploration and forest management.
