About this map

Dworshak Reservoir dominates the western half of this Clearwater County landscape, showing the massive impoundment at its 1,600-foot elevation. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Cloverleaf Creek, Burnt Creek, and Fisher Creek which flow toward the central Elk Creek. Notable vertical drops are found at Elk Creek Falls and Bull Run Creek Falls, highlighting the area's sharp topographic relief.

Human presence is marked by isolated settlements and recreational points such as Twin Springs, Five Corners, and the Elk Creek Picnic Area (Camp Y). For those tracing local infrastructure, the map details numerous unnamed trails and jeep tracks, such as the Jeep Tr near the reservoir and a prominent Rock Cut on the northern border, alongside prominent landforms like Tick Ridge and Aldermand Ridge.
