2017 Map of Fruitvale

About this map

The Weiser River valley forms the central corridor of this Adams County landscape, where the settlements of Fruitvale and Glendale occupy the lower elevations before the terrain rises into the Payette National Forest. Further north, the presence of Starkey Hot Springs at Starkey indicates the geothermal activity of the region, situated near the confluence of the W Fork Weiser River. To the south, the community of Council serves as a local hub, supported by the Council Municipal Winkler Airport and the nearby hamlet of Hoover. High ridges such as Hornet Ridge and Ft Hall Ridge frame the drainage basins of Mill Cr and Hornet Cr, illustrating a rural economy tied to the river system and timberlands. Small-scale infrastructure like Yantis Ditch and E Fork Ditch reflect the historical management of water for local agriculture and settlement.
