1988 Map of Sixmile Point

About this map

Boise National Forest dominates the high-elevation terrain of this 1980s provisional study, where the landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Middle Fork Payette River and its numerous tributaries. The map details the transition from the flat, open expanse of Round Valley on the western edge to the prominent peak of Sixmile Point. Water management and recreational access are visible through the inclusion of Herrick Reservoir in the north and Rattlesnake Campground near the river’s edge. The complex network of drainages, including Sixmile Creek, Bacon Creek, and the North Fork, illustrates the rugged watershed patterns that have long dictated movement and land use in this part of Valley County.
