2020 Map of Fitsum Summit

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in Valley County, where sharp peaks and alpine lakes define the watershed. The landscape is structured by several significant ridges, including Snowslide Summit and Boulder Mtn, which separate numerous glacial basins. Water travels through a complex drainage system, from the Middle Fork Lake Fork to the N Fork Fitsum Cr. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily on Lick Creek Rd and the Lake Fork First Bridge, providing limited access to the interior. For those studying the geography of central Idaho, the map details many high-altitude landmarks such as Sawtooth Peak and the Shaw Twin Lakes. The presence of features like Jumbo Basin and Slick Rock illustrates the glacially carved nature of this primitive mountain wilderness.
