About this map

Meadow Valley serves as the central pastoral corridor of this 2004 revision, where the settlement of New Meadows sits at a critical junction of high-country drainage and transportation. This survey, updated by the USDA Forest Service, details the convergence of the Little Salmon River and its various tributaries like Goose Creek and Mud Creek. The landscape transition is stark, moving from the open valley floor to the dense, high-elevation timber of the Payette National Forest and the Council Ranger District.

Evidence of local infrastructure is noted through the Landing Strip and multiple Sewage Disposal Ponds near the town center, while the smaller settlement of Rubicon is tucked into the western slopes. The map traces the intricate drainage networks that define the region's geography, including Threemile Creek and Fire Gulch, illustrating how water management and forest boundaries dictated the development of this Idaho mountain community at the start of the 21st century.
