About this map

Sturgill Peak and the high elevations of the Hitt Mountains dominate this 2017 survey of the Payette National Forest. This remote section of Washington County is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage systems, including Keithly Creek, Hitt Creek, and Porcupine Creek. The map documents a rugged landscape punctuated by notable geographic landmarks such as Sawlog Glacier and Sturgill Ridge, reflecting the area's glacial and tectonic history.

Local navigation relies on a complex system of forest development roads and primitive trails, including the Saddle Trail and the Surdam Loop. These routes connect dispersed natural features like Coffee Spring and Tamarack Flat. The transition between the drainage basins of Mann Cr and Sturgill Cr reveals the intricate topography of the Idaho-Washington state border region during the early 21st century.
