2017 Map of Vinegar Hill

About this map

Vinegar Hill and the surrounding high country of the Payette National Forest define this landscape along the border of Idaho and Valley counties. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of ridges and drainages, where Big Creek and Coyote Spring/Cow Creek flow through deep basins. A key point of access in this backcountry is the Cabin Creek USFS Airport, situated near the confluence of Cabin Creek and Big Creek. This airstrip serves as a critical link for the Forest Service in managing the vast roadless areas between Cold Mountain to the north and Horse Mountain to the south. The map provides a look at the remote geography of the Salmon River Mountains, detailing high points like Rush Creek Point and the depressions of Towhead Basin and Browns Basin.
