About this map

New Meadows serves as the central hub of this Adams County landscape, situated near the confluence of the Little Salmon River and several mountain-fed creeks. The town's significance as a regional administrative and transportation point is evident by the location of the New Meadows District Ranger Office and the New Meadows Airport. To the west, the smaller settlement of Rubicon sits along the road network leading into the timber-rich highlands.

Water distribution and drainage patterns define the geography, with the East Branch Goose Creek and West Branch Goose Creek meeting in the north, while the southern terrain is marked by more isolated features like Fire Gulch. The names of local waterways such as Railroad Creek and Trestle Creek suggest a legacy of transportation and industrial infrastructure carved through the valley. This survey captures a modern look at a community deeply tied to its National Forest surroundings and the valley floor's hydrologic network.
