2013 Map of Pine Flat

About this map

The South Fork Payette River carves a deep path through the heart of the Boise National Forest, serving as a central corridor for recreational and geographical features in this Idaho territory. Along the river's northern banks, the confluence with the Deadwood River marks a significant hydrological junction, while the nearby Oxbow Bend illustrates the winding nature of the canyon floor. The landscape is defined by elevated plateaus and named benches, including Pine Flat, Birch Flat, and Pidgeon Flat, which provided accessible terrain for early development. Evidence of localized activity is found at the Pine Flat Hot Springs and several designated sites like the Deadwood Campground and Pine Flats Campground. Connecting these locations is the Banks Lowman Rd, which follows the river's contours, while more remote reaches are marked by prominent heights such as Burns Ridge and Windy Point.
