2020 Map of Neil Gulch

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this section of Washington County, defined by high-elevation ridges and deep drainages. The landscape is punctuated by the presence of Stickney Glacier and Sheep Camp Glacier, marking the high points of the terrain near Sturgill Peak. The naming of features like Wash Pan Mill Creek and Neil Gulch suggests a history of resource extraction or early homesteading in these remote gulches. High-country travel is facilitated by multiple saddles and flats, such as Benton Saddle, Telephone Saddle, and Pine Grass Flat. This 2020 record of the region captures the modern forest management infrastructure, including Natl Forest Develop Road 027 Rd, which provides access to the headwaters of W Brownlee Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The map preserves the specific locations of isolated water sources like Cottonwood Creek-Box Spring and Arrowhead Spring.
