About this map

The settlement of Goodrich serves as the focal point for this landscape in Washington County, where the valley floor meets the rugged western edge of the Payette National Forest. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by its water sources and historical land use, with the Weiser River winding through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Parallel to the river, the Weiser River National Recreation Trail traces a path through the valley, following a route that long dictated the movement of people and goods through this part of Idaho.

Higher elevations reveal a varied topography marked by features like Ferguson Basin, Orchid Canyon, and Long Gulch. Ranching and homesteading history is suggested by the presence of Homestead Spring and Strawberry Spring, essential water points in a landscape that includes both the verdant Skunk Cabbage Flat and the more arid Greasewood Flat. The network of forest roads, such as Jackson Creek Rd and Goodrich Creek Rd, provides a clear view of the modern access points into the backcountry and timberlands.
