About this map

The high alpine crests of Bear Pete Ridge dominate this section of the Payette National Forest, where the landscape is defined by deep glacial cirques and high-elevation basins. Dozens of small lakes and seasonal drainages emerge from the high points of Victor Peak and Storm Peak, feeding complex creek systems including Victor Creek and Loon Creek. The map documents a rugged wilderness environment punctuated by specific topographic landmarks such as Diamond Rock and Squaw Point.

Historically significant for its hydrology and natural boundaries, the area includes numerous named meadows like Ruby Meadows and Squaw Meadows that suggest the long-standing use of these high-country basins for grazing or seasonal encampment. The presence of Clookman Saddle and Secesh Summit indicates established crossing points through the ridge systems, while the convergence of Idaho Co Valley Co boundaries highlights the remote interior character of these central Idaho mountains.
