About this map

Payette National Forest encompasses this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the drainage systems of Monumental Creek and its various forks shape the steep, forested terrain. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Center Mountain and Snowslide Peak, which rise above the surrounding basins and gulches. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, including Wild Horse Cr and Snowslide Cr, flowing through deeply etched valleys toward larger collectors.

Cougar Basin occupies the southern reaches, where the W Fork Monumental Cr and N Fork Monumental Cr converge. This 2017 survey provides a detailed record of the wilderness hydrology and mountain ridges, such as Big Creek Ridge, before any significant modern alterations. The layout of section lines and township boundaries like t20n r11e offers a structural framework for researchers tracking land ownership and forest management history in this part of Valley County.
