About this map

West Fork Weiser River defines the eastern drainage of this high-elevation terrain in Adams County, where a complex network of forest roads facilitates access through the timbered landscape. The area is marked by numerous water sources named for the local wildlife and early inhabitants, including Chipmunk Spring, Weasel Spring, and Harrington Spring. The terrain is deeply incised by several prominent gulches, most notably Weasel Gulch and Alder Gulch along the central North Hornet Creek drainage.

Transportation through this part of the Payette National Forest relies on an extensive system of development roads, such as Summit Creek Rd and Ridge Rd, which follow the contours of the divides. The density of named springs and the distribution of drainage features like Fourth of July Creek and Doe Creek suggest a landscape historically utilized for livestock grazing and resource management long before this modern survey.
