About this map

Meadows Valley Cem and the historic Packer Johns Cabin State Park anchor the western portion of this Idaho landscape, where the agricultural flats of Meadows Valley meet the rising slopes of the Payette National Forest. This 2004 revision, based on earlier surveys, reveals the distinct topography between the older settlement at Meadows and the more developed corridors near McCall. The geography is defined by a network of drainage ditches and mountain streams, including East Branch Meadows Creek and Threemile Creek, which supported local ranching and transit long before the establishment of modern recreation sites like the Payette Lake Ski Area.

High-altitude landmarks such as Brundage Mountain and Meadows Summit oversee a transition from open range land to timbered basins. The map captures various infrastructure including the New Meadows McCall Rd and an Airstrip near Rock Flat, illustrating how transportation evolved to connect these mountain communities across the Adams and Valley County line. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate terrain of Bear Basin and Copeland Flats, providing a clear record of the region's land use patterns.
