About this map

Green Mountain and its high-elevation Lookout tower over the drainage basins of the Nez Perce National Forest in this mid-1990s update of 1960s topography. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where Running Creek and its many tributaries, including South Fork Running Creek, flow through deeply incised valleys. Notable landmarks include the high-altitude Elk Lake and prominent summits such as Granite Peak and Little Green Mountain.

Evidence of historical resource exploration appears as Prospects located along the ridges, suggesting a legacy of surveying for minerals amidst the timber. The map also records the precise path of Matteson Ridge, which separates the headwaters of Matteson Creek from the East Fork Meadow Creek system. The lack of major roads or developed settlements highlights the wild character of this portion of Idaho County during the late 20th century.
