2017 Map of Hanover Mountain

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this section of Idaho County, characterized by high-elevation peaks and remote mountain meadows. Hanover Mountain and Gospel Peak serve as prominent anchors in a landscape defined by dramatic relief, stretching from the high timberline down into the historic Florence Basin. This area is notable for its connection to early Idaho mining history, indicated by labels like Last Chance Gulch, where gold seekers once labored in the gulches and basins. The drainage network is complex, with the Wind River and Slate Cr carving deep into the terrain, feeding numerous alpine basins. These basins contain isolated water bodies such as Upper Slate Lake, Indigo Lake, and Emerald Lake. Access is limited to primitive routes like Moores Station Rd, reflecting the sustained wilderness character of this high-country region.
