2017 Map of Dog Creek

About this map

The Selway River winds through the heart of the Nez Perce National Forest, defining the drainage patterns of this mountain terrain in Idaho County. This area is characterized by sharp elevations and significant watercourses, including the long reach of Pettibone Cr and the shorter, steep runs of Dog Cr and Hell Cr. Landmarks such as Dog Point and the prominent Pettibone Ridge offer natural orientation points for those navigating the wilderness. Along the riverbanks, features like Rattlesnake Bar hint at the seasonal shifts in the water's path and the depositional history of the river valley. The map also records numerous smaller tributaries such as Bear Creek, Cow Cr, and Ditch Cr, providing a detailed look at the complex watershed systems that have shaped this portion of northern Idaho.
