About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho, where the geography is defined by prominent north-south mountain spurs and deep drainage basins. High points like Bruin Mtn and Black Tip overlook a network of alpine waters, including Scribner Lake, Kenneth Lake, and Ellis Lake. The map reveals a complex system of ridges such as Lava Ridge and Center Ridge, which channel water into the N Fork Payette River and French Cr.

Evidence of historical access and land management is seen in the naming of the French Creek Spur and Fisher Creek Rd, which provide passage through the steep terrain at Fisher Creek Saddle. Low-lying marshy areas like Squaw Meadows and Little French Creek Meadow contrast with the surrounding peaks, while Upper Payette Lake serves as a major hydrological feature at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
