About this map

Nez Perce National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness dominate this high-country survey of Idaho County, based on mid-1960s field data with 1980s updates. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and lack of modern road infrastructure, relying instead on a system of Pack Trails to navigate the steep drainages. High points like Freeman Peak and Trout Peak watch over a network of waterways including East Fork Moose Creek and Trout Creek.

Remote landmarks such as Papoose Lake and Horsefly Meadows suggest a terrain utilized primarily by the U.S. Forest Service and backcountry travelers. Multiple bench marks, such as BM 2712 and BM 2812, follow the creek beds, providing the primary surveyed references for this wilderness. The concentration of named ridges like Maple Lake Ridge and Hidden Ridge illustrates a landscape where vertical geography dictates the movement and naming of the land.
