About this map

Lewis and Clark National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, dominated by the peaks of Fairview Mountain and Crown Mountain. The area is defined by a dense network of pack trails, including the Fairview Trail, Ford Creek Trail, and Petty Creek Trail, which navigate the steep drainages of Willow Creek and Ford Creek. These paths historically provided access to remote outposts such as the Fish and Game Cabin and Willow Creek Cabin, alongside seasonal livestock operations.

Agricultural activity and resource management are evident in the scattered private holdings along the forest boundary, including the Hidden Valley Ranch, Scoutana Ranch, and Weisner Ranch. A namesake landmark, Double Falls, sits at the confluence of several creeks near the southwestern boundary, marking a significant hydrological feature in a region of high relief that includes Lime Ridge and the deep incision of Lime Gulch.
