2020 Map of Sturgill Creek

About this map

Brownlee Reservoir dominates the central corridor of this map, marking the state boundary where Oregon and Idaho meet. The landscape is defined by the steep, dissected terrain of the Snake River canyon, where numerous drainages like Sturgill Cr, Lick Cr, and Skookum Chuck Cr flow toward the reservoir. On the Idaho side, the land rises into the Payette National Forest, characterized by high-elevation features such as Coyote Flat and Deer Gulch. This modern survey illustrates the remote character of the borderlands, where the primary access is provided by Snake River Rd and the high-mountain track of Nat For Dev Rd 272. Named landmarks like Andrew Spring and Lone Pine Gulch offer specific points of reference for those studying the hydrology and topography of the Hells Canyon region.
