2017 Map of Anderson Butte

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho, where a complex network of ridges and watercourses defines the terrain. Prominent landmarks such as Anderson Butte and Sheep Drive Ridge rise above the deep drainages of Meadow Creek and the E Fork American River. The map provides a detailed view of the various tributary systems, including Fivemile Cr, Dent Cr, and Horse Cr, which carve through heavily timbered slopes and high points like Horse Point. This 2017 data captures the modern configuration of Forest Service lands, including the path of Indian Hill Rd 290 as it navigates the northern slopes. The area is characterized by its isolation and the dominance of natural features, with very few human-made improvements beyond the forest road system and the township boundaries of T30N and T31N.
