2017 Map of Indian Mountain

About this map

The Little Salmon River carves a deep central corridor through this portion of the Payette National Forest, defining the rugged boundary between Adams and Idaho counties. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape primarily dedicated to timber management and wilderness recreation, where high-elevation landmarks like Indian Mountain and the Grass Mountains tower over the drainage basins. Settlement is sparse, represented by small locales such as Bear Wallow and Round Valley in the southwest. The transport network is comprised of forest service routes like Smokey Boulder Rd and Elk Lake Rd, which provide access to interior features including Hazard Falls and the high grazing lands of Hard Creek Meadows. The presence of Teepee Springs and numerous creeks like Fall Creek and Boulder Creek emphasizes the importance of water resources in this mountainous terrain.
