2020 Map of Indian Mountain

About this map

The Little Salmon River carves a deep path through this section of the Payette National Forest on the border of Adams and Idaho counties. This 2020 map documents a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the high peak of Indian Mtn and the Grass Mountains to the lower reaches of Round Valley. The area is interlaced with a network of forest roads, including Smokey Boulder Rd and Hillman Basin Rd, which provide access to remote drainages like Boulder Cr and Hazard Creek. The survey captures the natural drainage patterns of numerous mountain streams such as Fall Cr and Teepee Springs, alongside distinct terrain features like Bascom Canyon and the Hard Creek meadows. This modern record is essential for tracing the geography of the Salmon River mountains and identifying named landmarks like Bear Wallow in the high backcountry.
