2024 Map of Cayuse Junction

About this map

The Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River and the Lochsa River define the southern boundary of this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the Clearwater National Forest spans the border of Clearwater and Idaho counties. The map highlights a complex drainage system, with Cayuse Creek and Waw'aalamnime Creek carving deep through the terrain. Evidence of historic movement is found in the path of the Lolo Trl, a route through the mountains that predates modern infrastructure. Above the river valleys, the Williams Range and Wendover Ridge dominate the topography. Distinctive landmarks such as the Wacamyoo-Likoolam Saddle and Cold Storage Saddle mark logical transit points across the ridges, while smaller water features like Cayuse Lake and Whitehouse Pond provide vital local markers in this largely undeveloped wilderness.
