2024 Map of Fitsum Summit

About this map

Payette National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Salmon River Mountains captured in this recent survey. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the North Fork Lake Fork, Middle Fork Lake Fork, and South Fork Lake Fork converge. Historic access routes like Lick Creek Rd and Boulder Lake Rd navigate the steep topography, providing passage to high basins containing Snowslide Lake, Maki Lake, and Anderson Lake. Prominent summits such as Sawtooth Peak, Boulder Mtn, and the namesake Fitsum Summit stand as significant landmarks for those tracing the geographic divide between these glacial drainages. For researchers, the map details established trails including the Box Lake Trl and Paddy Flat-Lake Fork Creek Trl, which follow the natural contours of the mountain passes and valley floors.
