About this map

Clearwater National Forest and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness define this high-elevation landscape, where the Lochsa Recreational River carves a deep corridor through the mountains. This 1994 revision, based on photography from the 1960s and 1990, documents the protected river corridor and its relationship to the surrounding primitive areas. Significant landmarks include the Mocus Point Pack Bridge and the Weir Creek Hot Springs, reflecting the area's long-standing use for backcountry travel and recreation.

The topography is dominated by distinct peaks and ridges, from Grave Butte in the northwest to the eponymous Greystone Butte. Hydrological patterns are marked by numerous high-country meadows and alpine lakes, such as Gold Meadows and Fish Lake. The boundary between the Powell Ranger District and the wilderness area highlights the administrative management of this roadless terrain during the late twentieth century.
