2020 Map of Cedar Ridge

About this map

Elk Summit serves as a central high-altitude point in this 2020 landscape, marking the intersection of the Clearwater National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest. The map detail captures the headwaters of numerous drainages, including E Fork Moose Cr, Cedar Cr, and Hoodoo Cr, which carve through the high ridges of the Bitterroot wilderness. This area is characterized by steep elevation gains leading to prominent summits such as Hoodoo Mtn, Gateway Peak, and the aptly named Goat Heaven Peaks. Small alpine water bodies like Kidney Lake, Hoodoo Lake, and Porphyry Lake are scattered across the high basins. Human presence is limited to the forest road network, primarily Elk Summit Rd and Hoodoo Lake Rd, which provide access to these remote ridgelines including Friday Ridge and Cedar Ridge.
