1995 Map of Hanover Mountain

About this map

Gospel Peak and Hanover Mountain dominate this mid-1990s survey of the high country within the Gospel Hump Wilderness. The map details a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude water bodies like Indigo Lake, Emerald Lake, and the sapphire-blue Slate Lake. Human activity in the Nez Perce National Forest is evidenced by the remote Wixon Cow Camp and Moores Work Center, indicating the ongoing importance of forest management and seasonal grazing. The drainage network is complex, with Slate Creek, Meadow Creek, and the Wind River carving through the terrain. Evidence of earlier exploration or prospecting persists in named locations like Last Chance Gulch near Florence Basin, while numerous Meadows, such as Round Bottom Meadows and Rhett Meadows, suggest pockets of relatively level ground amid the surrounding peaks.
