About this map

Willow Ridge and Big Flat dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Payette and Gem counties. The drainage network is complex, defined by the long descent of Cherry Gulch and the winding course of Big Willow Creek. This modern survey documents a topography where water is the primary architect of the land, visible in the numerous named draws and canyons like Cold Spring Canyon and Dyes Gulch.

Human presence is marked primarily by foundational infrastructure, including Four Mile Rd and Big Flat Rd, which trace the higher elevations and creek beds. Notably, the map includes the Indigenous place name Sehewoki'i Newenee'an Katete in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Hydrological features such as Lower Corral Creek Spring and Sucker Creek provide essential points of reference for those studying the physical geography and ranching history of this Idaho interior.
