About this map

Bailey Mountain Lookout stands as a prominent point of orientation in this high-altitude landscape of the northern Rockies, where the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness meets the boundary of the Clearwater National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest. The map detail reveals a complex network of high ridges and saddles, such as Army Mule Saddle and Saturday Ridge, which define the drainage basins for Moose Creek and Hungry Creek.

The absence of improved roads highlights the backcountry nature of the Powell Moose Creek Ranger District during the mid-1990s. Researchers can trace the hydrography from the small Porphyry Lakes and Maple Lake down to the larger Warm Springs Creek. The nomenclature, including features like Hungry Rock and Fox Peak, reflects the rugged surveying history and naming conventions of the U.S. Forest Service in central Idaho.
