2024 Map of Freeman Peak

About this map

The Bitterroot Mountains define this high-elevation landscape within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and Nez Perce National Forest. Centered on the prominence of Freeman Peak, the map reveals a complex network of drainage basins where headwaters like East Fork Moose Creek and Trout Creek begin their descent through deep canyons. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the protected status of this wilderness area, where the terrain is marked instead by natural features like Maple Lake Ridge and the high-altitude Horsefly Meadows. Small tributaries such as Wye Creek, Fitting Creek, and Double Creek feed into larger systems, illustrating the hydrological importance of this interior Idaho range. For those studying the geography of the Selway-Bitterroot, this survey documents the precise location of peaks and stream junctions in a largely untouched mountain environment.
