About this map

Snow Haven Ski Area and its early ski lifts define the northern highlands of this area within the Nez Perce National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of high ridges and deep drainages, where the South Fork Clearwater River cuts through the northeast corner, joined by Earthquake Creek. Civil infrastructure is sparse, characterized by remote outposts and seasonal camps such as Tollgate Ranch, White Bird Station, and Twin Cabins.

Resource management and recreational development are evident through the Fish Creek Lookout Tower and the Fish Creek Recreation Area. Notable landmarks for local history include named points like Goose Creek Point and the curiously named Dentist Parlor Ridge. The presence of several quarries and established routes like Tollgate Road suggest the ongoing maintenance of this forest interior in the early 1960s.
