About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this landscape, showing a dense network of forest development roads and named ridges in Northern Idaho. The 2014 survey documents the complex topography between Austin Ridge and Dan Lee Ridge, where high elevations like Hemlock Butte overlook a series of gulches and draws. Transport through this timbered territory relies on routes like French Mountain Rd and Three Bear Rd, which provide access to interior landmarks like French Saddle and Lost Hat Saddle.

Water systems define the drainage patterns of the area, with the Musselshell Cr and its associated Musselshell Rd appearing alongside the Lolo Cr and Orofino Cr. The map illustrates the boundary where Clearwater Co and Idaho Co meet, following the winding course of the creeks. This record captures the modern state of federal forest management, marking numerous numbered forest development roads used for logging and fire access throughout the Clearwater region.
