About this map

The Hitt Mountains and the southwestern reaches of the Payette National Forest define this high-country drainage system in Washington County. The landscape is carved by a network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Hopper Creek, Keithly Creek, and the E Fork Keithly Creek, which converge as they descend toward the Shoe Peg Valley in the southeast. This 2017 survey reflects the remote, utilitarian infrastructure of the region, where a complex of forest development roads and local routes like Reeds Grove Road and Keithly Creek Road provide access for land management and ranching.

Several family-named landmarks and topographic features such as Advent Gulch, Surdam Gulch, and Looney Spring indicate a history of local homesteading and resource use. The map also traces more recent development with named tracks like Hopper Road and Smith Road skirting the valley floor, showing how contemporary property lines and access routes have adapted to the steep terrain of the Idaho backcountry.
