About this map

Council Mountain dominates the landscape of this high-elevation Idaho territory within the Payette National Forest. The topography is defined by complex drainage networks and high mountain basins, including Granite Basin, Arbuckle Basin, and Bucks Basin. These alpine features feed several significant watercourses, most notably the Middle Fork Weiser River and the E Fork Weiser River.

Evidence of local habitation and land management is sparse but present, marked by the remote Deseret Cabin in the northeast and a network of forest development roads such as Fall Creek Rd. The presence of geothermal activity is noted at Hot Springs along Warm Spring Creek. For those tracing local landmarks or backcountry history, the map provides precise locations for named points like Sugarloaf and various draws such as Cookhouse Gulch and Log Cabin Gulch.
