2017 Map of Paddy Flat

About this map

Paddy Flat serves as the central focal point of this high-elevation terrain in the Payette National Forest, where a network of forest service roads and high-mountain lakes defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by distinct summits and peaks, including Jughandle Mtn and Buckhorn Mtn, which overlook a series of glacial lakes such as Louie Lake and Boulder Lake. The presence of Boulder Meadows Reservoir and Upper Jug Creek Reservoir indicates the importance of water management in this backcountry region. This area, marked by the confluence of numerous creeks like Boulder Creek and Kennally Cr, shows a traditional Western wilderness usage pattern where forest access routes like Paddy Flat Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 389 provide the primary means of navigation through the steep, varied topography.
