About this map

Aldermand Ridge and Norwegian Ridge dominate this high-country landscape along the border of Latah and Clearwater counties. This 2014 survey captures a region defined by complex drainage systems and open high-elevation meadows, including Mason Meadows, Long Meadow, and Round Meadows. The presence of Browns Camp suggests a history of forest management and seasonal habitation in a terrain carved by numerous seasonal streams such as Tired Wolf Cr, Three Bear Cr, and Riswold Cr.

To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the northern reaches of the Dworshak Reservoir, where the landscape is intersected by the North and South Forks of Dicks Creek. Notable high points like Mason Butte provide significant landmarks for understanding the local topography. This map documents the remote watershed before the modern landscape was further altered, preserving the network of Forest Service roads like NFD 1963 RD and NFD 1445 RD that provide access to these backcountry ridges.
