About this map

Lick Creek Rd serves as the primary artery through this high-altitude landscape in Valley County, providing access to essential recreational sites like Black Lee Campground and Lake Fork Campground. The area is defined by its complex drainage network, where the North Fork Lake Fork and its various branches, including the Middle Fork Lake Fork and South Fork Lake Fork, converge near Lake Fork. The presence of several small-scale water management structures, such as Browns Pond Dam, Molony Dam, and Shaw Twins-Upper Dam, suggests a history of managing runoff for local downstream needs.

Prominent geographical markers like Sawtooth Peak, Snowslide Peak, and the massive Slick Rock dominate the skyline above a series of high-mountain basins and tarns. Locations such as Jumbo Basin and Crystal Lake are tucked between ridges like the Twin Lakes Ridge, while Buckhorn Mountain Lake sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This map documents the persistent infrastructure of the national forest system at the start of the 2010s, showing the intersection of natural water systems and managed access roads.
