About this map

Harpster sits at the northern edge of this territory, where the South Fork Clearwater River winds through the landscape. Much of the region is defined by the Nez Perce National Forest, a terrain characterized by prominent elevations such as North Blacktail Butte and Sugarloaf. The map reveals a network of forest development roads and historic transportation corridors, including the Old Elk City Stage Rd, which speaks to the area's legacy of wilderness transit and early passage through the mountains.

Remote camps and clearings such as Potlatch Camp 58, North Meadow Camp, and McComas Meadows are scattered throughout the forest, connected by numerous drainages like Lightning Cr and Sears Cr. These labels provide specific points of interest for those tracking land use and resource management history in Idaho County. The southern reaches are marked by high ridges, including Blacktail Ridge and Quartz Ridge, overlooking the complex web of creeks that feed into the Clearwater system.
