About this map

The Crags dominate the eastern reaches of this high-country survey, marking a significant transition point within the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. This terrain represents the meeting of several administrative boundaries, including the dividing line between the Clearwater National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest. The landscape is defined by high ridgelines and isolated water bodies, where dramatic elevations at Chimney Peak and Gedney Mtn give way to steep drainages feeding Old Man Creek and Gedney Creek.

The prominence of the Boyd Glover Roundtop Trail along Glover Ridge suggests the primitive access routes through this roadless interior. Small alpine basins like Louse Lake, Flea Lake, and Chimney Lake are tucked beneath peaks such as Ghost Mtn, illustrating the high-altitude hydrology of the Clearwater basin. The map also delineates the boundaries of the Lochsa Selway Ranger District and the Moose Creek Selway Ranger District, which oversaw this remote mountain landscape in the late 20th century.
