About this map

Big Cedar and the nearby Tahoe Ridge define this mountain landscape in Idaho County, where the forest gives way to high ridges and deep river canyons. The northern boundary is shaped by the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River, a corridor that transitions into the extensive timberlands of the Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest. Local landmarks like the Tahoe Cemetery and peaks such as The Horn and Potato Hill anchor the geography of this rural enclave.

Transportation patterns reflect the area's transition from forest management to aviation, highlighted by the Clear Creek International Airport and numerous forest development roads. Water is central to the land's character, with the drainage systems of Clear Creek and Big Cedar Creek carving the terrain. This modern survey documents the network of rural roads, including Tahoe Loop and Big Cedar Road, that connect remote residences to the broader forest management infrastructure.
