About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape along the border of Idaho and Valley counties. The topography is defined by the massive Bear Pete Ridge in the west and Diamond Ridge to the east, forming a high-relief corridor of summits and saddles. Water is abundant throughout these heights, with numerous glacial tarns including Josephine Lake, Nethker Lake, and Victor Lake situated in steep-walled basins.

Evidence of early travel and topographic survey points are scattered across the peaks, notably at Clochman Saddle and the Secesh Summit. These remote landmarks, alongside features like Ruby Meadows and Squaw Meadows, suggest the seasonal usage of the terrain for grazing or transit. The drainage patterns of Victor Creek and Twentymile Cr clarify the complex watershed that flows from these high granite divides.
