2020 Map of Pony Meadows

About this map

Keystone Meadows and Little Pony Meadows anchor a landscape defined by high-elevation drainage networks and steep ridgelines at the boundary of Idaho and Valley Counties. This 2020 Payette National Forest territory is dominated by the massive Steamboat Ridge, which forms a central spine between Steamboat Cr and Grimmet Creek. The presence of several high lakes, including Steamboat Lake, Bear Lake, and Blue Lake, suggests a high-basin environment where water collects before descending into narrow gulches. Historical nomenclature like Whangdoodle Cr and Arlise Gulch points to the area's prospecting or local naming traditions. Accessibility is largely limited to forest corridors like Natl Forest Develop Road 359 Rd, which crosses between the two counties near the namesake Pony Meadows.
