About this map

Payette National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho, where the boundary of Idaho and Valley Counties bisects the terrain. The map is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, most notably Wolf Fang Peak and the nearby Wolf Fangs, along with Rattlesnake Peak to the northwest. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, with numerous watercourses such as Middle Fork Elk Cr, S Fork Smith Cr, and Porphyry Cr carving through the steep topography.

Evidence of human movement and land management is seen in high-elevation passages and clearings like Elk Summit and Round Meadow. Further south, Fawn Meadow and Crystal Spring provide more specific points of interest for those tracking historical trails or backcountry livestock grazing patterns. The inclusion of Goldman Cut and Mt Eldridge highlights the surveyed landmarks used by the U.S. Geological Survey to navigate this complex wilderness.
