About this map

The Middle Fork Payette River serves as the central artery for this mountainous region of Valley County, winding through a landscape defined by deeply cut gulches and timbered ridges. To the southwest, the Terrace Lakes Resort and a network of residential roads like Valley View Heights Dr and Shilo Dr indicate a pocket of recreational development near Warm Springs. The remainder of the terrain is primarily managed for public use, featuring extensive National Forest roads such as Nat For Dev RD 693 and Nat For Dev RD 698.

Historically significant landmarks like Hardscrabble Pasture and Packer Spring suggest early land use patterns, while the presence of Hardscrabble Campground and Tie Creek Campground highlights the area's transition into a modern recreational corridor. Numerous drainage systems, including Scriver Creek, Pyle Creek, and Lightning Creek, feed into the river, carving out distinctive features like Auglebright Gulch and Powderhouse Gulch that dominate the local topography.
