About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which was documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2013. The terrain is defined by high-elevation points such as Burgdorf Summit and Nelson Point, with the South Fork Salmon River cutting through the northeastern corner. This map serves as a detailed guide for back-country navigation, highlighting critical infrastructure such as the Mill Lookout and Smith Knob Lookout.

Evidence of historical ranching and land use appears at Badley Ranch and the southern Faust Meadows. The drainage network is dense, featuring numerous tributaries including Raines Creek and Smith Creek. For researchers and recreationists, the map identifies specific access points like the Raines Creek Trailhead and Smith Saddle Trailhead, providing a clear look at the trail and ridge system that facilitates travel through these steep Idaho County mountains.
