About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this section of the northern Idaho mountains, where the historic Lolo Trl traverses the high ridges. This corridor follows the natural terrain of the Williams Range and Wendover Ridge, tracing a path between the Lochsa River and the high-elevation basin containing Cayuse Lake. The map illustrates the specialized naming conventions used for the landscape, including the Wacamyoos Likoolam Saddle and Cold Storage Saddle, which served as critical passage points for travel through the forest.

Concentrated near the river at the southern edge of the survey, the Whitehouse Campground and Wendover Campground represent the recreational development of this wilderness area. The remote character of the region is further defined by the network of watercourses, such as Immatumoon Cr and Waw'aalamnime Cr, which feed the river systems of Idaho County. At Cayuse Junction, the interplay between forestry roads and historic trails highlights the ongoing importance of this transit corridor in the modern era.
