About this map

Lost Valley Reservoir dominates the northwestern reaches of this terrain, serving as a significant hydrological center within the Payette National Forest. This 2017 survey details a landscape where the Weiser River and its numerous tributaries, including the W Fork Weiser River and Mosquito Cr, carve through the mountainous topography of Adams County. The settlement patterns follow the river and primary road corridors, with small communities like Tamarack, Pine Ridge, and Woodland positioned along the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find interest in the naming of several deep drainages such as Slaughterhouse Gulch, Meridian Gulch, and Bear Gulch, which suggest the early industrial and natural history of the area. The map's comprehensive network of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 139 and Nat For Dev Rd 089, reveals the logistical framework of the timber and resource management era.
