About this map

The Lochsa River winds through the northern portion of this Idaho County landscape, carving through the steep topography of Black Canyon. This 2017 survey details a primitive road network, notably Coolwater Rd, which provides access to the high-elevation terrain between the Clearwater National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest. The geography is defined by prominent peaks and ridges including Coolwater Mountain, Sheep Hill, and the sharp profile of Knife Edge Ridge.

High-altitude water bodies such as Andys Lakes, Coolwater Lake, and Fire Lake sit at the headwaters of numerous drainage systems, including Coolwater Cr and Fire Cr. The presence of the Split Creek Bridge near Split Creek Ridge highlights a key crossing point for transit through this mountainous interior. Other landmarks like Andys Hump and Round Top Mtn serve as significant navigational points within the extensive forest boundaries.
