About this map

The Lochsa River carves through the heart of the Clearwater National Forest in this high-altitude section of Idaho County. The terrain is defined by extreme relief, rising from the river valley toward prominent peaks like Bear Mtn and Freezeout Mtn. A network of drainages including Postoffice Cr, Kinnikinnick Cr, and Pedro Cr feed into the primary river system, reflecting the complex hydrology of this wilderness area.

Evidence of recreational and geothermal features appears along the northern river corridor, most notably at the Jerry Johnson Campground and the nearby Colgate Warm Springs. To the southeast, the landscape shifts toward the high-elevation clearing of Wag Meadows near Wag Cr. This map captures a landscape dedicated to federal forest management and backcountry preservation, where human presence is limited to established trails, campgrounds, and the winding path of the river.
