About this map

Dworshak Reservoir defines the southwestern portion of this Clearwater County landscape, where the rising waters of the impoundment meet the drainages of Cranberry Cr and Long Meadow Cr. The terrain is characterized by prominent high ground such as Aldermand Ridge, Elk Ridge, and Tick Ridge, which separate the various creek systems feeding into the reservoir. A network of backcountry roads, including Elk River Rd and Dent Bridge Rd, provides access to these ridges and the interior canyons.

The settlement of Five Corners serves as a small intersection point in the south, while the northern sections focus on significant natural water features. Both Bull Run Creek Falls and the eponymous Elk Creek Falls are clearly marked, illustrating the steep drop-offs and drainage patterns of Bull Run Cr and Elk Cr. This survey captures the modern interface between managed timberland and the hydraulic landscape created by the reservoir.
