2004 Map of Wolf Fang Peak

About this map

Wolf Fang Peak and the surrounding wilderness of central Idaho are defined by high-elevation ridgelines and isolated mining prospects. This territory, split between the Payette National Forest and the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness, preserves a landscape where industry once touched the high peaks. Traces of extraction are evident at the McCrae Mine and the Independence Mine near Fawn Meadow, while the Goldman Cut marks the terrain near Windy Ridge. The map details a complex hydrology including the Middle Fork Elk Creek and Wolf Fang Creek, illustrating the steep drainage patterns typical of the Idaho and Valley County border. From the elevation of Mt Eldridge to the localized basin at Round Meadow, the survey documents the high-country infrastructure of the Krassel Ranger District.
