2020 Map of Railroad Saddle

About this map

Price Valley serves as a focal point in this high-elevation region of the Payette National Forest, where the headwaters of the Weiser River begin their descent. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the W Br Weiser River and E Br Weiser River, which converge near the southern edge of the survey. Significant topographical landmarks like Railroad Saddle and Brush Mtn provide natural passage and oversight across the timbered ridges. To the northwest, the protected Rapid Wild and Scenic River corridor follows the Rapid River Ridge, indicating a shift toward more restrictive wilderness management. A network of Forest Service routes, including Smokey Boulder Rd and Price Valley Rd, provide access to remote locations like Butter Gulch and various water sources such as Miller Spring and Aspen Spring, which have supported seasonal forestry and ranching activities for generations.
