About this map

Papoose Peak stands as the central high point of this high-altitude landscape where the Payette National Forest and Salmon National Forest meet at the border of Idaho and Valley Counties. The terrain is defined by a radial drainage system, with numerous seasonal and perennial creeks such as Papoose Cr, Cave Cr, and Cliff Cr carving deep paths from the summits.

Remote water sources like Papoose Lake and Coyote Spring are tucked among the steep slopes, while landmarks like Black Butte and Big Hill provide prominent navigational markers for those traversing the wilderness. The survey documents the intricate network of forest service roads and high-clearance trails that provide access through the complex topography of these protected national forest lands in the early 21st century.
