About this map

Selway Bitterroot Wilderness and the Nez Perce National Forest dominate this high-country landscape in Idaho County. The terrain is defined by its deep drainage basins and significant elevations, centered on the East Fork Moose Creek which gathers waters from numerous tributaries like Higgins Creek and Fitting Creek. This mid-1990s survey preserves the primitive state of the backcountry, where human presence is marked only by remote forest trails and high-altitude landmarks.

Prominent summits including Freeman Peak and Trout Peak overlook a network of glaciated features, from the alpine waters of Papoose Lake to the grazing grounds of Horsefly Meadows. Small water bodies like Maple Lake are tucked against the steep Maple Lake Ridge near the eastern boundary, illustrating the isolation of the northern Bitterroot Range. The map serves as a detailed guide to the hydrologic headwaters of the region, tracing the paths of Brave Creek and Monument Creek through this protected roadless area.
