About this map

Cold Spring Ridge and the Council Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of the Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest. The eastern edge is defined by the massive expanse of Cascade Lake, where a Boat Ramp provides access near the West Mountain Road. The interior terrain is deeply incised by a complex drainage system including the Little Weiser River and Anderson Creek, which flow through heavily wooded basins like Cougar Basin.

A notable network of trails and forest roads facilitates movement through this vertical country, including the Arling Trail and Wilson Creek Trail. At the northern edge of the sheet, the curious place name Beer Bottle Crossing marks a point along the Wetser River. The map also identifies local resources and landmarks such as a Gravel Pit and the high point of Lookout Peak, providing a detailed view of the infrastructure and natural features managed by the Forest Service in the early 21st century.
