About this map

Nez Perce National Forest defines this high-elevation Idaho landscape, centered on the heights of Gospel Peak and the drainage systems of the Wind River. In the early 1960s, the area remained largely roadless, accessible via a Jeep Trail that snakes toward Moores Station and Moores Spring. The terrain is characterized by numerous glacial cirques and high-altitude lakes such as Slate Lake, Indigo Lake, and Emerald Lake, which feed the steep canyons of Hanover Creek and Little Boulder Creek. A specific human footprint is visible at the Hanover Mtn Cabin, situated near Hanover Mtn itself. This period of the forest's history reflects a quiet era of management and recreation before modern infrastructure expanded, where landmarks like Umbrella Butte and Rock Creek Point served as primary navigational beacons for those moving through the basin.
