About this map

The Seven Devils Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape on the border of the Nez Perce National Forest and Payette National Forest. Dramatic peaks with evocative names like He Devil, She Devil, the Tower of Babel, and Mt Belial overlook a complex network of alpine basins containing the Hanson Lakes, Bernard Lakes, and Lower Cannon Lake. The terrain is marked by sharp ridges such as Dry Diggins Ridge, which formerly hosted the Dry Diggins L O lookout station.

Evidence of human activity is found in the deep canyons, notably at Rankin Mill along the W Fork Rapid River. The southeastern portion of the map is defined by the Rapid Wild and Scenic River corridor, which flows through a landscape of steep drainages including Oxbow Cr and Dog Cr. This map illustrates the transition from high-altitude scree slopes and peaks to the lower river-carved valleys of Idaho and Adams counties.
