About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this mid-1990s topographic survey, documenting a landscape defined by high ridges and the winding paths of the Selway Elk City road. The prominence of Anderson Butte serves as a primary landmark, featuring the Anderson Butte Lookout at its summit. This area, managed under the Forest Service, shows a network of historical trails and modern recreation paths, including the Anderson Butte National Recreation Trail.

Watercourses such as Meadow Creek and Horse Creek carve through the steep terrain between Horse Ridge and Sheep Drive Ridge. A single grave is noted near the southern reaches of the map, offering a quiet point of interest for genealogists or local historians tracing early inhabitants or travelers through these Idaho mountains. The map also records numerous peaks and points like Dent Point and Green Ridge, illustrating the drainage patterns that feed into Fivemile Creek and Butte Creek.
