2017 Map of Brown Creek Ridge

About this map

Brown Creek Ridge dominates the central landscape of this Idaho County survey, marking the transition between the watershed of Lolo Creek and the intricate drainage networks to the north. The area is heavily defined by the boundaries of the Clearwater National Forest, where high-elevation landmarks like Musselshell Meadows and Deer Gulch indicate the remote and managed nature of the terrain. A complex system of forest and county roads, including Mussell Shell Rd, Lolo Creek Rd, and the descriptively named School House Rd, provides access through the timbered hills. The hydrography is particularly dense, with numerous named tributaries such as Jim Brown Cr, Mosquito Cr, and Pete and Charlie Cr carving through the valleys. This 2017 edition reflects the modern management of these public lands while preserving the traditional place names of the northern Idaho wilderness.
