1995 Map of Dog Creek

About this map

The Selway Wild and Scenic River and the Middle Fork Clearwater River carve through this protected landscape within the Nez Perce National Forest. The geography is defined by steep elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks to high points like Dog Point and the prominent Pettibone Ridge. Human presence is sparse and localized, centered primarily on the Selway Lodge near the southern edge and the precarious Selway River Road tracing the western water gap. This 1995 revision, based on imagery from the early 1990s, documents the area as part of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, showing a landscape managed for its primitive character. Small landmarks like Rattlesnake Bar and drainage systems including Hell Creek, Glover Creek, and Crow Creek provide specific points of reference for navigating this deep interior river corridor.
