About this map

Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape of central Idaho, dominated by the drainage systems of Marble Creek and its many tributaries. The area is defined by massive topographic features including Lookout Mountain and the prominent Lookout Mtn Ridge in the northwest, while Shellrock Ridge and Red Ridge anchor the eastern and central elevations.

Evidence of historical activity and navigation is sparse in this protected wilderness, marked primarily by the lonely label of Black Pole and the drainage paths of Safety Cr and Big Cottonwood Cr. The map details a complex network of forest drainages such as Sunnyside Cr, Little Cottonwood Cr, and Telephone Creek, reflecting the importance of water management and topography within these national forest boundaries.
