About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Valley County, where the drainage systems of Monumental Creek and its various forks carve through the terrain. The topography is defined by significant peaks and ridges, including the prominent Center Mountain and Snowslide Peak in the northwest, while Big Creek Ridge stands at the northeastern corner. These physical barriers dictate the flow of numerous small tributaries such as Wild Horse Cr and Snowslide Cr.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Cougar Basin provides a natural bowl beneath the steep slopes, drained by the W Fork Monumental Cr. The map illustrates a wilderness-oriented landscape largely devoid of modern development, focusing instead on the complex network of creeks like Beehive Cr, Dame Cr, and Slide Cr. This cartographic survey captures a remote section of central Idaho, useful for understanding the hydrologic patterns and natural landmarks of the Salmon River Mountains region.
