About this map

The Selway River cuts through this high-elevation backcountry in Idaho County, serving as the primary drainage for a network of named creeks and gulches. The landscape is dominated by significant ridgelines and peaks, including Burnt Strip Mountain, Green Mountain, and the long spine of Indian Ridge. Human presence is concentrated near the river corridor, where the Nat For Dev Rd 6223 provides access to the Paradise Campground and the White Cap Trailhead.

A complex drainage system flows from the high ground toward the river, characterized by Snake Creek, White Cap Creek, and Stewart Creek. To the southeast, the terrain drops into Saddle Gulch and South Fork Saddle Gulch. This 2011 survey documents a preserved wilderness landscape, detailing the specific topography that has historically shaped travel and recreation in this part of the Nez Perce National Forest.
