2011 Map of Mount Paloma

About this map

Mount Paloma and its neighboring peaks dominate this drainage system within the Idaho backcountry. The landscape is defined by a complex network of waterways, where Brushy Fork Creek and Clift Creek merge into the larger arterial system. To the south, Cooper Flat provides a rare point of level ground amidst the high relief of Vance Point and Cuneo Point. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Paloma Creek and White Cap Creek carving deep paths through the terrain. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a wilderness environment largely devoid of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the hydrographic relationships between Fall Creek, Granite Creek, and Canyon Creek. The detailed contour work illuminates the prominence of features like Nipple Knob, offering researchers a clear view of the natural topography in this portion of Idaho County.
