2013 Map of Hazard Lake

About this map

The Grass Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Payette National Forest, where steep ridgelines and glaciated basins define the geography. The area is a dense network of alpine water bodies, ranging from the prominent Big Hazard Lake and Hazard Lake to smaller, evocatively named features like Disappointment Lake and Coffee Cup Lake. Human presence is primarily defined by recreation and forest management, centered around Hazard Campground and the Hazard Lake Rd corridor. The map captures the rugged interior of the Idaho-Valley county line, showing how drainages like Hard Cr and Vance Cr carve through Bascom Canyon and collect in high meadows such as Hard Creek Meadow. For those tracing the geography of the Salmon River Mountains, this survey provides exact detail of the basins and overlooks, including Lloyds Lake Overlook.
