2004 Map of Hazard Lake

About this map

Big Hazard Lake and its smaller neighbors anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Payette National Forest. This 2004 revision, based on surveys dating back to 1959, captures a wilderness area defined by the Grass Mountains and a complex network of alpine water bodies. The geography is dominated by steep drainages like Bascom Canyon and the headwaters of Hazard Creek, which flows through glacial basins. Significant landmarks include the Hard Creek Meadow and the secluded Grass Mountain Lakes. The map reveals a remote terrain primarily accessible via trails and the New Meadows-McCall Rd in the southeast corner. This specific edition is notable for documenting unsurveyed protracted blocks and the precise locations of small, family-named features such as Lloyds Lake and Buck Lake in a region characterized by its high-altitude meadows and ridges.
