About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this high-country landscape, where a complex network of drainage basins defines the topography. The terrain is structured by prominent divides such as Buck Ridge and Johnagan Ridge, which separate various tributaries of the Clearwater River system. Elevations peak at landmarks like Cook Mtn and Fox Butte, while localized depressions and open spaces like Crater Meadows provide distinct ecological breaks in the timbered slopes.

Water flows in every direction from these heights, feeding named runs including Fourth of July Creek, Doris Creek, and Weitas Creek. The map also captures a significant administrative boundary where Clearwater Co meets Idaho Co, cutting across the southern portion near Smith Butte. This survey serves as a precise modern record of the primitive backcountry, showing the drainage patterns and landforms that have dictated travel through these mountains for generations.
