2024 Map of Horseshoe Lake

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this landscape along the boundary of Clearwater and Idaho counties. The high-elevation terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Lunde Peak and Moccasin Peak, with drainage networks feeding into substantial water bodies like Cayuse Creek and the map's namesake, Horseshoe Lake. A significant cultural and historical corridor, the Lolo Trl, traverses the southern portion of the map, tracing a route through the mountains that predates modern infrastructure. The presence of the Lolo Trl and named landmarks like Moon Saddle and Lunde Ridge reflects the long-standing use of these ridges for travel and observation. Remote forestry roads, including Gravey Creek Rd and RD 588, provide limited access to the interior, while numerous creeks like West Fork Postoffice Creek and Blowup Creek carve the steep slopes of this protected wilderness.
