2013 Map of Pyle Creek

About this map

The Middle Fork Payette River carves through the heart of the Boise National Forest, defining a landscape of deep drainage and high ridge lines in central Idaho. This 2013 survey reveals a mountain corridor where recreational development and ranching heritage meet, notably at the Terrace Lakes Resort and the Hardscrabble Pasture located further north near the county line. The map highlights numerous geothermal features, such as Warm Springs and Hot Springs, which have long drawn interest to this section of the North Fork Range. Evidence of the area's timber and transport history is visible in the network of forest roads and named drainages like Auglebright Gulch and Powderhouse Gulch. From the heights of Bear Wallow Point to the riverside campsites at Tie Creek Campground, the map documents a transition between active forest management and established seasonal retreats.
