2020 Map of Pollock Mountain

About this map

Pollock Mtn serves as a central landmark within the Payette National Forest, overlooking a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and a complex hydrological network. The Rapid Wild and Scenic River flows through the heart of this region, joined by numerous tributaries such as Lonesome Cr and Paradise Creek. This 2020 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily shaped by forestry and conservation, where high-altitude features like North Star Butte and the Devils Ladder ridge provide significant topographic orientation. The map documents the primitive infrastructure of the modern forest, including the Smokey Boulder Rd and forest routes like F RD 158. Notable geographic points such as Chokecherry Flat and Bear Wallow indicate areas of localized importance for forest management and wildlife, reflecting the enduring character of the Idaho backcountry.
