About this map

Ponderosa State Park and the expansive Payette National Forest anchor this high-elevation landscape in central Idaho, where drainage systems from several creeks feed the North Fork Payette River. The area is defined by its significant water storage and recreational resources, including Granite Lake and the Brundage Reservoir, which sits at a specified elevation of 6218 feet.

Logistics through the backcountry are traced via the historical Warren Wagon Road and Eastside Drive, providing access to isolated meadows such as Sater Meadows and Hardy Meadows. The presence of a designated Fishing Access point near the reservoir highlights the region's mid-century transition toward managed natural resources and recreational land use. Smaller drainages like Box Creek, Pearl Creek, and Yockwah Creek illustrate the complex watershed that defines the Valley and Adams County border.
