2013 Map of Cascade

About this map

Cascade and the surrounding high-altitude terrain define this landscape at the dawn of the 2010s, where the North Fork Payette River meets the expansive waters of Lake Cascade. The settlement of Arling sits to the north, marking a point along the agricultural and residential corridor of Long Valley. The topography is dominated by distinct landmarks such as Crown Point and Sugarloaf, while water management is evident through the winding path of the Center Canal and the presence of high-country impoundments like Smalley Reservoir and Jemima K Reservoir. These features reflect the complex relationship between recreation and irrigation in central Idaho. The map also highlights the rugged boundaries of the Boise National Forest, showing a network of mountain access roads including Van Wyck Rd and Cabarton Rd that connect the valley floor to the forested uplands.
