2017 Map of Caton Lake

About this map

Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest converge in this high-elevation wilderness, where the East Fork South Fork Salmon River carves through the landscape. The geography is defined by prominent crests and drainages, notably Indian Ridge and Rainbow Ridge. For those tracing local names and land use, the map identifies specific high points such as Indian Peak, Van Meter Hill, and the descriptively named Sawpit Hill. Hydrographic features like Caton Lake and Marion Lake are primary landmarks within the watershed, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Caton Creek, Johnson Creek, and Porcupine Cr. The presence of E Fork Rd provides a point of reference for historical access into these forest interior lands, where Rainbow Spring and Rainbow Rock mark the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
