About this map

Fish Lake and its high-elevation backcountry define this portion of the Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of subalpine basins and dramatic ridges, where the Fish Lake USFS Airport provides a rare point of access to this interior wilderness. Local topography is marked by distinctive crossings and landmarks such as Tribulation Saddle, Fish Lake Saddle, and End Butte, while the hydrology is shaped by Fish Lake Cr and Wounded Doe Cr.

For those tracing the history of forest service management and backcountry travel, the presence of the Fish Lake Cabin and Two Lakes Cabin highlights the infrastructure used for maintaining these lands. Named summits like Eagle Mtn and Sponge Mtn tower over smaller water bodies including Pollywog Lake and California Lake, illustrating the complex glacial carving typical of this Idaho County region.
