2017 Map of Pyle Creek

About this map

The Middle Fork Payette River carves a deep path through the Boise National Forest in this 2017 study of the high country north of the Boise River basin. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, from the North Fork Range in the west to the prominent Lightning Ridge in the east. Local history and recreation are centered around water features like Hot Springs and Warm Springs Cr, while the network of forest service and local roads, including Scriver Creek Rd and S Middle Fork Rd, provides access to the high-elevation points of Bear Wallow Point and Pyle Creek Point. This map captures a modern snapshot of a working forest landscape, showing the many spurs and loops used for timber management and access to landmarks like Hardscrabble Pasture.
