About this map

Packer John Mountain and the North Fork Range dominate this Idaho landscape, where the Boise National Forest encompasses high-elevation terrain carved by an intricate network of waterways. Along the western edge, the North Fork Payette River flows through the canyon followed by the Payette River Scenic Byway, reaching the settlement of Big Eddy.

Remote forest service roads, including the Packer John Rd and various numbered spurs like Spur 643MA, provide access to the interior watersheds of Scriver Creek and Howell Cr. The map highlights the intersection of public land management and natural hydrography, tracing several branches of the Scriver system such as Middle Fork Scriver Cr and W Fork Scriver Cr. This modern survey details the transition from the river corridor's narrow transportation paths to the vast, protected forestlands of the Valley and Boise County line.
