1986 Map of Rocky Comfort Flat

About this map

The Cuddy Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape within the Payette National Forest, where steep drainages and high flats define the topography of Adams County. The terrain is marked by distinctive level areas such as Rocky Comfort Flat and Paradise Flat, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding ridges. Water is a defining force on this sheet, featuring the Bear Creek Falls and the junction of numerous watercourses including the Wildhorse River, Crooked River, and Lick Creek. Evidence of resource exploration and small-scale infrastructure is present through several prospects and a remote Landing Strip near the river. This survey captures a moment when the wilderness was managed for multiple uses, balancing natural landmarks like Clifton Spring and Cows Spring with the practical needs of forest access and navigation.
