About this map

Edwardsburg sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape within the Payette National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of drainages and prominent peaks, with Big Creek Rd providing the primary corridor through the terrain. Evidence of the region's geological complexity is seen in features like The Pinnacles and several high basins, including Cougar Basin, which holds numerous alpine water bodies.

Water is a constant presence, from the larger Big Creek to smaller tributaries like Lick Creek, Jacobs Ladder Creek, and Missouri Creek. The map records a variety of alpine lakes such as Logan Lake, Bear Lake, and Catherine Lake, which are often situated in cirques beneath summits like Logan Mtn and Cougar Peak. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of this backcountry, where ridges like Hogback Ridge and Missouri Ridge dictate the flow of the land.
