2020 Map of Fog Mountain

About this map

The Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River and the Selway River converge in this high-elevation wilderness within the Nez Perce National Forest. The landscape is defined by steep drainage systems and prominent peaks, including Fog Mtn and Otter Butte, which overlook a complex network of creeks like Hidden Creek and Maiden Creek. The limited human footprint is centered on the Fog Mtn Road, providing access to the Big Fog Saddle. This area serves as a critical watershed, with high-altitude features like the Highline Lakes and Moose Meadows feeding the primary river systems. The transition from the high-ridges of Highline Ridge down to the river canyons illustrates the primitive character of the Idaho backcountry at the start of the 2020s.
