About this map

The Lochsa River carves a path through the northern reaches of this Idaho County terrain, where the U.S. Forest Service infrastructure supports backcountry access. Public recreation sites like the Major Fenn Picnic Area and Knife Edge Campground sit adjacent to the river’s course, marking the primary corridor for travelers. The Split Creek Bridge provides a critical crossing point near Black Canyon, where the water narrows between steep slopes.

Elevations rise sharply toward the south, culminating at Coolwater Mountain and the high-altitude Coolwater Lake. This upper country is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including Knife Edge Ridge and Sheep Hill. A secondary network of dirt tracks like Coolwater Rd provides access to remote landmarks such as Remount and the cluster of Andys Lakes, illustrating the logistical complexity of managing this high-country landscape in the early 21st century.
