2017 Map of Rush Peak

About this map

Cuddy Mountains dominate the high-elevation landscape of this portion of the Payette National Forest in western Idaho. The topography is defined by significant ridges and basins, such as Grizzly Basin and the expansive Big Flat, which surround the prominent Rush Peak. A complex network of drainage systems including Rush Creek, Goodrich Creek, and Calamity Creek carve through the terrain, leading to features like Rush Falls. This area illustrates the management of public lands for recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Weiser/Council Boundary Trail and seasonal grazing or habitat areas like Calamity Meadows and Fox Prairie. The placement of Rattlesnake Gulch and Greasewood Flat indicates a transition into the more arid stretches of the river drainage system south of the primary peaks.
