About this map

Payette National Forest, Salmon National Forest, and Boise National Forest meet in this high-altitude section of Valley County, documenting a complex intersection of federal land boundaries. The terrain is defined by the significant prominence of Shellrock Peak and Two Point Peak, which anchor a landscape of steep drainages and alpine hydrology. A network of creeks, including Shellrock Cr, S Fork Rush Cr, and Brush Creek, carve through the ridges, illustrating the headwaters that feed the region's larger river systems.

Evidence of high-country recreation and natural features is visible in the southern portion of the map, specifically around Norton Ridge and the secluded Norton Lake. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the physical geography and administrative dividing lines at the headwaters of Bear Creek and Norton Cr, offering a detailed reference for those studying the remote wilderness of central Idaho.
