2020 Map of Clarke Mountain

About this map

The North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through this section of the Clearwater National Forest, serving as the primary drainage for a network of high ridges and deep gulches. In this steep Idaho landscape, the river is flanked by dramatic geological formations like Castle Rock and Chateau Rock, while high elevations are marked by Clarke Mtn and Elk Mtn. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by numerous tributaries such as Orogrande Cr and Deadhorse Cr. Access into these high reaches is limited to forest routes like Co Rd 247 and Protection Rd, which traverse the terrain between peaks such as Deadhorse Mtn and Shin Point. The map provides a detailed view of the watershed's topography as it existed in 2020, illustrating the relationship between the central river corridor and the surrounding mountain summits.
