2013 Map of Hungry Ridge

About this map

The South Fork Clearwater River winds through the northern portion of this Idaho County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for recreation and travel along State Hwy 14. This terrain is defined by its deep drainages and prominent ridges, including Hungry Ridge and Quartz Ridge, which overlook a network of creeks such as Meadow Cr and Johns Cr. Located within the Nez Perce National Forest, the area maintains a character of working forest and private holdings, with family-named sites like Lamb Ranch and Gilmore Ranch anchoring the local history. Recreational infrastructure is concentrated near the river, featuring the Castle Creek Campground and South Fork Campground. The inclusion of the Hungry Ridge Ranch Airport and the distinctively named Asbestos Point highlights the intersection of private aviation and mineral history in this backcountry region.
