2020 Map of Hershey Point

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this Idaho County landscape, where the high-altitude topography is defined by dramatic ridgelines and glacial features. Lava Ridge runs along the western edge of the quadrangle, punctuated by landmarks such as Hershey Point, Sams Throne, and Lava Butte. The area is characterized by significant vertical relief, with the deep drainage of French Creek carving south through the center of the sheet towards the Little French Cr. In the southern reaches, the terrain softens into the Elk Meadows area, where Scribner Lake and the Lava Butte Lakes sit at the base of Scribner Ridge. The map details a remote wilderness environment, where travel is primarily limited to the French Creek Rd and the natural corridors formed by watercourses like Elkhorn Creek and Sands Cr.
