About this map

Sturgill Peak Lookout stands as the prominent human landmark atop the high elevations of the Hitt Mountains in this section of the Payette National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its deep drainages and named summits, including Benton Peak and Hitt Peak, which overlook a network of seasonal streams like Mann Cr and Keithly Cr. The presence of the Sawlog Glacier suggests the persistent snowpack and ice features found in these northern slopes.

Recreational sites are clustered in the southern half of the quadrangle, where several forest service grounds are situated along the waterways. Researchers can locate Justrite Campground, Paradise Campground, and Kiawanis Campground, all positioned near the intersection of various forest trails and roads. Access to the interior is provided by routes such as Keithly Creek Rd, connecting the higher ridges to the flats and gulches like Mulmick Gulch and Tamarack Flat.
