About this map

Fish Lake and its surrounding high-country terrain define this mid-1990s survey of the Idaho backcountry. The landscape is dominated by the intersecting boundaries of the Clearwater National Forest, Nez Perce National Forest, and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. A distinct human imprint is visible at the Fish Lake Airstrip and the nearby Fish Lake Cabin, which serve as isolated points of access in a region otherwise characterized by peaks and creek drainages.

Water features are abundant throughout the quadrangle, from Eagle Mountain Lake and Pollywog Lake in the north to Two Lakes in the southwest. Natural meadows such as Gold Meadows and Sponge Meadows provide breaks in the forested slopes. The map traces the paths of numerous waterways, including Wounded Doe Creek and Moose Creek, which carve through the terrain between landmarks like End Butte and Rhoda Point.
