1973 Map of Meadows

About this map

Meadows Valley Cem and the settlement of Meadows stand on the western edge of a high mountain basin, where the landscape transitions from the open Meadows Valley into the timbered reaches of the Payette National Forest. This 1973 survey captures the area’s outdoor and historical character, featuring Packer Johns Cabin State Park and the rugged topography of Red Ridge and Meadows Hill. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the central terrain near Moorehead Flat, tracing a path once vital to the region's timber and transport economy. To the east, the edge of Mc Call is visible near the Adams and Valley County line, situated above the drainage of Williams Creek. The map documents a network of water features including Fish Lake and Little Goose Creek, alongside specialized sites like the Thorn Creek Fire Camp and a Landing Strip near Rock Flat Creek.
