2023 Map of Cayuse Junction

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this interior landscape, where the high ridges of the Williams Range and Wendover Ridge overlook a complex network of canyons and drainage basins. The Lolo Trl winds across the northern heights above Cayuse Junction, following the traditional paths of the high country. In the south, the terrain drops sharply toward the Lochsa River and the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River, where landmarks like Whitehouse Pond and Robin Creek mark the narrow river corridor. The map details a wild topography defined by steep saddles, including Wacamyoos Likoolam Saddle and Cold Storage Saddle, illustrating the difficult passage between the various forks of Waw'aalamnime Creek and Imnaamatnoon Creek. This modern survey documents the contemporary management and preservation of one of Idaho's most significant river systems and its surrounding wilderness.
