About this map

Rochester is the primary landmark on this Madison County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Nez Perce Cr. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the namesake Nez Perce Hollow toward the prominent summit of McCartney Mtn in the southwest. Local travel in this region relies on a network of unpaved routes including Rochester Rd, Melrose Rd, and McCarty Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find specific points of interest in the Rochester Cem and several named water sources vital to this high-country environment, such as Muller Spring, Reservoir Spring, and McCartney Cr. The drainage patterns are further marked by distinct geological features like Timber Canyon, Reservoir Gulch, and Sandy Hollow, which illustrate the rugged character of the Pioneer Mountains foothills during this early 21st-century survey.
