About this map

Paymaster Mine sits in the high desert terrain of southern Idaho, marking a point of industrial interest just south of Blizzard Mountain. This 2010 survey shows a landscape defined by its volcanic geology and drainage systems, where Lava Lake is fed by the southward flow of Copper Creek. The hydrology of the area is complex, with Lava Creek, South Lava Creek, and Cottonwood Creek carving paths through the arid basins.

Surface transportation is largely limited to unpaved access routes like Ranch Rd and E Fork Fish Creek Rd, which provide access to remote areas such as Barn Canyon. The map details the intersection of these local roads with the broader drainage of the East Fork Fish Creek, illustrating how geographic features like Payne Creek influence the placement of regional infrastructure in this sparsely settled portion of Blaine County.
