2004 Map of Parks Peak

About this map

The confluence of the Salmon River and the South Fork Salmon River anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Payette National Forest. This 2004 revision of earlier 20th-century surveys details the complex drainage systems of the McCall Krassel District, where numerous named tributaries like Smith Creek, Savage Creek, and Sheep Creek carve through the Idaho backcountry. Local history and physical geography are noted through markers such as Lawman Ford on the river and prominent peaks including Savage Point and Parks Peak. High-altitude features like Rock Lake and the sweeping Rainbow Ridge dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. The map documents the intricate network of forest service roads and trails that traverse these slopes, reflecting the management of these public lands by the McCall Krassel District at the start of the 21st century.
