About this map

Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest converge at this high-elevation point in the Idaho backcountry, defined by the towering summit of Fenn Mountain and the jagged formation known as The Crags. The landscape is a complex network of glacial basins and steep ridges, containing an array of named alpine waters including Lizard Lakes, Elizabeth Lake, and Big Fog Lake.

Transit through this wilderness is dictated by natural corridors such as Jesse Pass and high-altitude clearings like Old Man Meadows and Canteen Meadows. The drainage patterns are clearly established by the headwaters of Three Links Creek and Gedney Creek, which carve deep valleys away from the central peaks. This survey captures the topographical character of the Bitterroot range, where the lack of road infrastructure emphasizes a landscape still primarily accessed via the forest service trail system.
