About this map

The Payette National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Lake Fork Payette River and its various branches, including the East Fork Lake Fork and South Fork Lake Fork, carve through the complex terrain of the Idaho mountains. Human imprints are concentrated along the water, notably at the Old Powerplant and a Gaging Station located downstream from Browns Pond. These features indicate early 20th-century water management and utility development in this remote backcountry.

Elevations vary significantly across the quadrangle, punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Sawtooth Peak and Snowslide Peak. A network of trails managed by the Krassel McCall Ranger District and McCall Ranger District provides access to numerous alpine water bodies, including Box Lake, Squaw Lake, and the high-altitude Maki Lake. The presence of a Prospect label suggests historical mineral exploration near the center of the survey area.
