About this map

Rush Peak and the high basins of Washington County define this landscape of the early 21st century, where a complex network of drainages flows through the Idaho backcountry. The terrain is characterized by steep descents and seasonal watercourses, highlighted by the drop at Rush Falls and the broad reach of Big Flat. The map reveals a land utilized for its open spaces and natural resources, connected by primitive routes like Cow Creek Rd and Ward Rd.

Water management and natural meadows are central to the area's geography, with Calamity Meadows providing a break in the drainage patterns of Calamity Creek and Goodrich Creek. To the south, Rattlesnake Gulch and Grizzly Basin emphasize the varied topography that collectors and outdoorsmen navigate. This survey offers a precise record of the regional hydrography, including the paths of Beaver Creek and Grizzly Creek.
