About this map

Mc Call sits at the southern edge of Payette Lake, serving as a central hub for the recreation and timber economy of Valley County in the early 1970s. The town's layout includes the Municipal Golf Course, a Fish Hatchery, and the Mc Call Airport, while the Union Pacific railroad line reaches into the heart of the settlement. To the north, the peninsula of Ponderosa State Park divides the lake, featuring sites like Pilgrim Cove Boat Ramp and North Beach.

To the east, Little Payette Lake and the Cruickshank Reservoir are surrounded by the elevations of Timber Ridge. The landscape is etched with utilitarian features like the Duston Jeep Trail and various borrow pits, reflecting a region defined by its intersection of wilderness access and resource management. The vast Payette National Forest dominates the higher ground, with drainages like Fall Creek and Boulder Creek feeding into the lake system.
