2017 Map of Neil Gulch

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this section of Washington County, defined by high-elevation ridges and the complex drainage systems of the Brownlee Creek watershed. High points like Sturgill Peak and Sturgill Ridge anchor the southern terrain, while distinct glaciated features such as Stickney Glacier and Sheep Camp Glacier are noted further north. This modern survey illustrates the specialized nomenclature of the backcountry, from the high saddles like Benton Saddle and Telephone Saddle to functional local landmarks like the Tool Cache. The map reveals a landscape used for seasonal grazing and forestry, evidenced by clearings such as Pine Grass Flat and Coffee Flat. A network of Forest Service routes, including the Middle Fork Brownlee Creek Rd, provides the primary access through these high-relief gulches and canyons.
