2013 Map of Fitsum Summit

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Valley County, where the hydrological divide of the Salmon River Mountains is meticulously recorded. The terrain is defined by dramatic granite features and glacial basins, including Slick Rock and the Jumbo Basin. Waterways radiate from the central peaks, with the N Fork Lake Fork and E Fork Lake Fork carving deep valleys through the forest. Recreational infrastructure of the early 21st century is concentrated along Lick Creek Rd, which provides access to the Black Lee Campground and Lake Fork Campground. For those tracking the geography of the Idaho backcountry, the map identifies numerous high-mountain tarns such as Snowslide Lake, Maki Lake, and the remote Buckhorn Mountain Lake, alongside prominent peaks like Sawtooth Peak and Boulder Mtn.
