About this map

Rainbow Peak and the surrounding high country of Payette National Forest define this 2020 landscape in Valley County. The terrain is a complex network of steep drainages, including the prominent Monumental Creek and its many tributaries like N Fork Trap Cr and Big Cottonwood Cr. The map captures a wilderness area marked by dramatic elevations, featuring named heights such as Thunder Mtn, Lightning Peak, and Pyramid Point.

Remote landmarks such as Suicide Rock and Gold Ridge provide specific reference points for researchers and hikers, while the presence of Roosevelt Lake and Coon Cr highlights the area's hydrology. The boundary with Boise National Forest to the south, near Cox Point, indicates the administrative transition between these large protected lands. The lack of major roads, save for Nat For Dev Rd 375, underscores the isolated nature of this high-elevation interior.
