2013 Map of Log Mountain

About this map

Log Mtn and Shell Rock Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest. The geography is defined by the significant corridor of Johnson Creek, which flows northward past the Twin Bridges Campground toward the Salmon River drainage. This remote Valley County terrain is characterized by high meadows and isolated alpine water bodies like Rainbow Lake and Shell Rock Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the central Idaho mountains. Primitive access is traced via Johnson Creek Rd, which serves as a primary artery for navigating this wilderness. Significant hydrological features such as Whitehorse Rapids and the expansive Caton Meadow highlight the diverse environments found between the steep ridges and canyon floors. This survey documents the intersection of two major national forests during the early 21st century, preserving the placement of springs and small tributaries like Ditch Cr and Trout Cr.
