1986 Map of Tamarack

About this map

Lost Valley Reservoir dominates the northwestern terrain of this Idaho-Adams county borderland, serving as a focal point for recreation and water management within the Payette National Forest. This mid-1980s provisional study records the landscape as it transitioned between heavy timber utility and modern outdoor use, featuring a campground, Picnic Areas, and a Boat Ramp near the northern shore. The eastern corridor is defined by the Weiser River valley, where the communities of Tamarack and Pine Ridge sit along the drainage. The map reveals the intricate network of gulches and creeks, such as Slaughterhouse Gulch and Meridian Gulch, that feed into the larger river systems. To the south, the settlement of Evergreen and the Evergreen Campground reflect the continued importance of the Price Valley region for both local residence and seasonal visitors.
