2024 Map of Williams Peak

About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this section of central Idaho, where high-elevation ridges separate the drainages of the Secesh River and the South Fork Salmon River. The landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal creeks and primitive transport routes, reflecting a history of forest management and backcountry access. Significant landmarks such as Williams Peak and Rainbow Ridge provide the primary orientation points for this mountainous terrain. Navigation through the steep valleys is facilitated by a system of trails and service roads, including the Tailholt Trl and Zena Creek Trl. The intersection of water and land is noted at Fritser Ford, an established crossing point on Fritser Creek, while the presence of Reservoir Flat indicates historical or contemporary water management efforts near Deep Creek.
