2017 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Fish Lake / USFS Airport serves as a remote point of access within this high-elevation landscape on the border of Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest. The area is defined by a dense network of alpine water bodies and drainage basins, including Sponge Lake, Pollywog Lake, and Heslip Lake. Notable natural clearings such as Gold Meadows and Sponge Meadows disrupt the timbered slopes, while the ridgelines are punctuated by geographic features like Tribulation Saddle and Wounded Doe Ridge. The presence of Wounded Doe Licks near the center of the map indicates specific wildlife habitat areas, while the numerous creek systems including Helix Cr and W-Moose Cr flow through deep drainages toward the lower elevations.
