About this map

Clearwater National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness dominate this high-elevation Idaho interior, where topographic relief is defined by deep drainages and sharp peaks. The northern reach is bounded by the Lochsa River and the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River, which collect water from a network of tributaries including Dutch Creek and Pass Creek. A long-standing Pack Trail system provides the primary means of movement through this landscape, connecting remote outposts like Horse Camp to prominent lookout points such as Greenside Butte and Gold Hill.

Glacial features are abundant across the terrain, notably the cluster of alpine basins containing Seven Lakes, Rock Lake, and Shasta Lake. To the east, the Wilderness Boundary cuts through steep ridges near Long Lake Point and Round Lake. The map details a landscape managed for conservation and backcountry use, showing no permanent road infrastructure within the wilderness and national forest blocks, instead relying on seasonal trails along Boulder Creek and Rhoda Creek.
