1986 Map of Council Mountain

About this map

Council Mountain dominates this portion of the Payette National Forest, rising above a complex network of basins and gulches in Idaho's Adams County. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Weiser River system, including the Middle Fork Weiser River and East Fork Weiser River. This 1980s-era survey details a landscape primarily utilized for timber and recreation, as evidenced by numerous 4wd routes and a Campground along Boulder Creek. Several locally named features suggest historical land use or pioneer associations, such as Dutch Oven Spring, Arbuckle Basin, and Cookhouse Creek. The map also captures several high-elevation basins like Cottonwood Basin, Granite Basin, and Lake Basin, providing a precise look at the hydrology and topography of this western Idaho range during the mid-1980s.
