2024 Map of Clarke Mountain

About this map

The North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through the center of this landscape, anchoring a complex system of drainage and relief within the Clearwater National Forest. To the north, the Sheep Mountain Range defines the high ground, while prominent peaks like Deadhorse Mtn, Elk Mtn, and Clarke Mtn provide essential topographic reference points. The map reveals a wild interior characterized by steep gulches and numerous tributaries, including Dead Mule Creek, Swanson Creek, and Morgans Gulch. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to essential access routes like Co RD 247, Camp 60 RD, and the Protection Rd. This modern survey details the intricate drainage patterns of the Clearwater basin, showing how the river serves as the primary conduit for the numerous creeks flowing from the surrounding ridges and points such as Shin Point and Cave Point.
