2013 Map of Fog Mountain

About this map

The Selway River cuts a deep, winding path through the heart of the Nez Perce National Forest in this survey of Idaho's wilderness. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, with high-elevation landmarks such as Fog Mtn, Otter Butte, and Ballinger Point towering over a complex network of drainage basins. The map captures the limited human footprint in this backcountry, primarily represented by the Fog Mtn Rd and the Bear Packer Camp near the river's edge. This region is a study in hydrology and high-country meadows, where seasonal waters like Canteen Cr and Jims Cr flow from upland areas like Moose Meadows. For those tracking the geography of the Bitterroot region, the map provides precise data on the Highline Ridge and the Big Fog Saddle transition.
