2020 Map of Sloans Point

About this map

Little Valley sits at the heart of this high-elevation terrain where the northern and southern Idaho forests meet. The hydrology is dominated by the Gold Fork River and its numerous tributaries, including Rapid Cr and French Cr. A significant cultural and geological landmark, the Gold Fork Hot Spring is located near the riverbanks, reflecting the geothermal character of the region. The map documents the boundary between the Payette National Forest and the Boise National Forest, a division that has shaped land use and conservation in Valley County for over a century. Transportation into this backcountry relies on a network of unpaved routes such as Sloans Point Rd and specialized paths like the Foolhen Ridge Fire Tr, which provides access to the heights of Sloans Point.
