2013 Map of No Business Mountain

About this map

McCall sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the North Fork Payette River flows through Long Valley. The terrain is defined by a sharp contrast between the irrigated agricultural floor and the high timberlands of the Payette National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex water management system of the region, featuring the Lake Irrigation District Canal and the southern reach toward Lake Cascade. Moving west from the river valley, the topography rises toward prominent features like No Business Mtn and Blue Bunch Ridge, which straddle the border between Adams and Valley counties. Historical traces of early development are visible in labels like Old Fort and Hartsell Bridge, providing a clear record of how transit and settlement patterns followed the natural contours of the river and the mountain saddles like Buck Saddle and No Business Saddle.
