About this map

Lost Valley Reservoir dominates the high northwestern terrain of this region, serving as a significant hydrological anchor within the Payette National Forest. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Lost Creek and the Weiser River, which flows southward through the Price Valley. This corridor historically supported a string of small settlements and sidings, including Tamarack, Woodland, and Evergreen, situated along the river's path and the former rail line now preserved as the Weiser River National Recreation Trail.

The distribution of local landmarks like Lost Creek Falls and various gulches, such as Slaughterhouse Gulch and Meridian Gulch, illustrates the transition from high-elevation water storage to the river valley floor. While much of the area remains forest land managed by federal agencies, the clustering of named places like Pine Ridge along the eastern roadway suggests the enduring importance of this north-south transit route through the Idaho mountains.
