2011 Map of Wolf Fang Peak

About this map

Wolf Fang Peak and the nearby Wolf Fangs dominate this Idaho County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of high-elevation drainages including Wolf Fang Creek and Porphyry Creek. The map documents a rugged interior where early 21st-century topography is shaped by both natural features and historic mining operations. Evidence of mineral exploration and extraction is scattered throughout the terrain, most notably at the McCrae Mine, Independence Mine, and the Goldman Cut near Fawn Meadow. The Elk Summit Rd serves as the primary artery through this wilderness, crossing Elk Summit and connecting isolated points like Round Meadow. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of the Salmon River mountains, capturing the headwaters of numerous creeks such as Middle Fork Smith Creek and West Fork Porphyry Creek.
