About this map

The Paddy Flat high mountain meadows and administrative outposts of the Payette National Forest define this 1970s landscape in Valley County. At the heart of the area, the Paddy Flat Forest Service Station and Paddy Flat Campground serve as central points for forest management and recreation. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Jughandle Mountain and Buckhorn Mtn, with many peaks connected only by primitive pack trails like the Boulder Lake Trail and Buckhorn Trail.

Water management and natural alpine basins are key features, ranging from the man-made Boulder Meadows Reservoir to remote high-altitude waters like Kennally Lakes, Rapid Lake, and Summit Lake. Evidence of small-scale mountain industry appears in the form of scattered prospects, a Mine, and several borrow pits, indicating localized resource extraction. The complex drainage network of Rapid Creek, Kennally Creek, and Paddy Creek illustrates the watershed's importance to the surrounding region.
