About this map

York sits at the western edge of this territory, where the mountain terrain begins its descent toward the drainage of the Little Elk Creek. The landscape is defined by the convergence of high-country water systems, most notably the American River and its multiple tributaries like the West Fork American River and Rumpus Creek. Higher elevations are marked by topographic landmarks such as Lick Point and Ericson Ridge, while flatter, marshy areas appear as Buck Meadows and Marten Meadows in the northern and eastern reaches.

Transportation through this part of Idaho County relies on a network of established forest routes, including Falls Point Rd and Flatiron Ridge Rd. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness area managed by the Forest Service, where drainages like Limber Luke Creek and Flint Creek carve through the ridges. This detailed 2011 survey records the road system and natural hydrology that dictates access for logging, fire management, and recreation in the region.
