1987 Map of Sturgill Peak

About this map

Sturgill Lookout Tower stands as the primary vantage point over the Hitt Mountains within the Payette National Forest. This 1980s landscape is defined by its drainage network, where Sturgill Creek and its tributaries carve through high-altitude flats like Coffee Flat and Tamarack Flat. The area serves as a significant recreational and administrative hub, anchored by the Mann Creek Guard Station and a series of forest service sites including Spring Creek Campground and Paradise Campground. The presence of Justrite Campground and Kiwanis Campground further south near Mann Creek indicates the long-standing role of this terrain for public access and forestry management. A lone Gravel Pit and the rugged access provided by Fourth of July Creek and Deadhorse Gulch suggest a history of local resource extraction and trail development in this mountain region.
