About this map

Fog Mountain and the surrounding peaks of the Nez Perce National Forest dominate this mid-1990s landscape, reflecting the deep wilderness of central Idaho. The geography is defined by the convergence of major waterways, specifically where the Selway River meets the Middle Fork Clearwater River. Large portions of the eastern terrain are protected as part of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, an area characterized by significant elevation changes from the river bottoms to high points like Ballingers Point and Otter Butte.

Remote land management infrastructure is evident at the Indian Hill lookout, while natural features like Moose Meadows and Big Fog Saddle suggest the traditional transit routes used before modern mapping. The designation of the Selway River Wild and Scenic corridor underscores the preservation of this corridor's primitive state. The map also traces various drainages including Canteen Creek and Mica Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology feeding into the Clearwater basin.
