About this map

Nez Perce National Forest encompasses the entirety of this high-elevation terrain, defined by a series of steep ridges and a dense network of mountain drainages. Significant landmarks include the prominent summit of Iron Mountain and the elongated spine of Radcliff Ridge to the northwest. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, most notably the West Fork O'Hara Creek and its tributaries, which flow through deep canyons separated by features like Ericson Ridge.

A series of forest roads, such as the Iron Mountain Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 464, provide the only modern access through these woods, connecting points of interest like O'Hara Saddle and the high flats of Table Meadows. The survey documents a wilderness character largely unchanged since the early 20th century, where named points like Nugget Point and The Narrows suggest a history of prospecting or navigation through the tight creek valleys of the Idaho backcountry.
