About this map

Meadows Valley serves as a transition between the northern drainage of the Little Salmon River and the high-altitude forested slopes of the Payette National Forest. This contemporary survey shows the hub of New Meadows at the junction of local transit routes, adjacent to the New Meadows Airport and the older corridor of Old Hwy 95. The settlement of Rubicon sits to the west, nestled against the rising timberline where watercourses like Mud Creek and Little Mud Creek emerge from the forest.

The southern half of the map is dominated by steep, complex terrain defined by numerous drainages, including Beaver Creek, Mill Creek, and Railroad Creek. These canyons, such as Fire Gulch, demonstrate the intricate watershed system that feeds into the valley. The map details the modern street grid of New Meadows, including Virginia St and Katherine St, while providing a clear picture of how the local economy remains tied to the surrounding national forest lands.
