About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, characterized by a complex network of high ridges and deep drainage basins. The area is defined by massive landforms like Green Ridge and Horse Ridge, which divide numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses. Near the southern boundary, Anderson Butte stands as a primary landmark, overlooking the surrounding Dent Ridge and Sheep Drive Ridge.

Drainage patterns here are intricate, with several forks of Fivemile Cr and the E Fork American River carving through the terrain. The presence of features like Horse Point and Indian Hill suggests the historic use of these high points for navigation or observation within the forest. This map serves as a contemporary record of the wild land and waterway names that have long anchored this portion of Idaho County.
