About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of Idaho's mountainous interior, where the South Fork Clearwater River carves a deep valley through the northern terrain. The landscape is a network of ridges and meadows utilized for both timber management and early recreation. Recreational development is evident at the Snow Haven Ski Area, complete with Ski Lifts, and various federal sites like the Fish Creek Meadow Campground and Fish Creek Recreation Area.

Fire suppression and forest management infrastructure are prominent, anchored by the Fish Creek Lookout Tower and remote outposts like Tollgate Ranch and White Bird Station. Transportation is largely restricted to the Tollgate Road and numerous primitive paths including the Jeep Trail. Historically significant points such as Lost Meadows, Corduroy Meadows, and the uniquely named Dentist Ridge provide specific landmarks for those tracing the development of the Clearwater region.
