About this map

Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest converge in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the headwaters of the Little Weiser River drain the western slopes. The terrain is defined by prominent north-south features like Mica Ridge and Cold Spring Ridge, which separate deep drainages such as Wolf Creek and Anderson Creek. To the east, the map captures the western shoreline of Lake Cascade, showing the transition from mountain slopes to the reservoir's edge.

A network of forestry and access routes, including the West Mtn Jeep Road and various national forest development roads, provides passage through this complex topography. Geographic landmarks like Lookout Peak and Indian Mountain offer significant reference points for those studying the boundary lines between Valley, Adams, and Gem counties. The map also records localized place names like Arling and Van Wyck, as well as the distinctive Burnt Wagon Basin, reflecting the history of land use and navigation in the West Mountain range.
