2017 Map of Pollock

About this map

Pollock and Pinehurst sit along the western edge of this 2017 survey, marking the primary human settlements in a landscape dominated by dramatic elevation changes. The Little Salmon River carves a deep valley north-south, serving as the corridor for local roads and the primary drainage for the surrounding highlands. This area represents a significant jurisdictional junction where the Idaho and Adams County line meets the boundaries of two major federal lands: the Payette National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward prominent peaks like Indian Mountain and Sheep Mountain. The map details a network of high-altitude features including Dempsey Flat and the curious natural formations of the Devils Ladder and Devils Hole. Smaller water bodies like Elk Lake and numerous creeks such as Rattlesnake Creek emphasize the complex hydrology of this high-country wilderness.
