About this map

The Cuddy Mountains dominate the high-elevation terrain of this mid-1980s topographic study, marking the rugged boundary between Adams and Washington Counties. Much of the landscape is contained within the Payette National Forest, where steep ridgelines lead to prominent landmarks like Crooked River Point and Summers Point. The drainage patterns are well-defined by the Crooked River and several creek systems, including Hornet Creek and Goodrich Creek, which navigate the deeply incised valleys.

Water management is evident through the presence of Hornet Reservoir and Lower Hornet Reservoir, situated near Devils Slide. These features, along with high-mountain catchments like Rush Lake and the grazing grounds at Buck Park and Olive Meadows, suggest a landscape historically utilized for forestry, seasonal grazing, and water storage. Sparse industrial indicators, such as a Gravel Pit and scattered Prospect labels, hint at the localized extraction efforts common to this Idaho mountain range.
