2023 Map of Fitsum Summit

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in Valley County, where the landscape is defined by the complex branching of the Lake Fork drainage. The area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes between points like Snowslide Summit and Boulder Summit. A network of backcountry routes, including the Box Lake Trl and Maki Lake Trl, provide access to remote water bodies such as Crestline Lake and Anderson Lake. Evidence of the region's geological character is visible in landmarks like Slick Rock and the high Sawtooth Peak. The primary corridor through this wilderness is Lick Creek Rd, which skirts Browns Pond as it follows the creek through the valley floor. This survey documents the contemporary trail systems and forest management boundaries established in the early 21st century.
