About this map

Lake Cascade dominates the northern reaches of this Idaho survey, where the North Fork Payette River flows through the expansive Long Valley. The town of Cascade sits along the eastern shore, supported by the Cascade Airport and a network of mountain roads like Lakeshore Dr and Cabarton Rd. To the south, the settlements of Belvidere, Cabarton, and Alpha trace the valley floor, with the Alpha Grange serving as a local landmark.

The landscape transitions sharply into the Boise National Forest to the west, marked by significant elevations such as Collier Peak and Tripod Peak. This area is defined by numerous drainages, including Willow Cr and Fawn Cr, which cut through the high terrain. High-altitude clearings like Stewarts Meadow and Grassy Flat break up the timbered slopes, illustrating the varied geography of Valley County in the early 21st century.
