2024 Map of Dairy Mountain

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by a complex network of high ridges and drainage basins. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Dairy Mtn, Asbestos Peak, and Jungle Point, while the southeastern corner reaches into the Gospel-Hump Wilderness. The topography is defined by the deep incisions of Slate Creek and its many tributaries, including Adams Creek and Trough Creek. Human activity is primarily represented by a series of National Forest development roads and the small settlement at Willow Flat near the southern boundary. Distinctive natural features such as Cold Springs Saddle and Free Use Ridge provide navigational context within this expansive forested terrain, while numerous springs like Peter Ready Spring and Pig Foot Spring indicate the reliable water sources that shaped local land use and resource management.
