About this map

The Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River defines the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape, where the water cuts through Black Canyon. This 2020 survey illustrates the meeting of two significant public lands, the Clearwater National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest. The geography is characterized by high-elevation landforms, including the prominent Coolwater Mtn Ridge and the sharp profile of Knife Edge Ridge.

Access to the high country is provided by Coolwater Rd, which winds past remote alpine features such as Andys Lakes and Coolwater Lake. The map details a network of vital drainages like Nineteenmile Cr and Fire Cr that feed the river system below. Notable landmarks such as Round Top Mtn and Sheep Hill serve as anchor points for understanding the topographical complexity of this wilderness area within Idaho County.
