About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain, where the headwaters of several major river forks emerge from the granite ridges of Valley County. The drainage network is complex, characterized by the Middle Fork Lake Fork and the South Fork Lake Fork, which originate near numerous alpine water bodies such as Box Lake, Maki Lake, and the Shaw Twin Lakes Upper. High peaks including Sawtooth Peak, Snowslide Peak, and Boulder Mountain define the vertical relief, separated by significant topographic passes like Fall Creek Saddle and Fitsum Summit.

Access through this wilderness is documented via Lick Creek Road, which crosses the Lake Fork First Bridge. The map captures a landscape shaped by glacial activity, evidenced by the high concentration of cirque lakes and basins, such as Jumbo Basin, and distinctive geologic markers like Slick Rock. This 2017 survey provides an exacting look at the hydrology and trail-accessible summits of the Idaho backcountry.
