About this map

Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape, where the geography is defined by a series of prominent peaks and alpine water systems. The map shows a complex network of drainages, including the N Fork Kennally Creek and the S Fork Buckhorn Cr, which carve through the terrain between landmarks such as Miners Peak and White Rocks. A notable geothermic feature, Hot Spring, is located deep within the forest near Cougar Creek Summit.

High-country travel is represented by the Needles Route, which traverses the southern portion of the sheet near Needles Summit. The area is dotted with numerous small lakes, including Petes Lake, Bills Lake, and the remote Blackmare Lake, suggesting a wilderness landscape primarily used for resource management and backcountry recreation. The presence of Aspen Flat and Cougar Saddle indicates the varying topographic breaks found throughout these central Idaho mountains.
