2013 Map of Jeanette Mountain

About this map

Jeanette Mtn stands as a central topographic anchor in this 2013 survey of the Idaho backcountry, marking the dividing line between two major wilderness management areas. The landscape is defined by the boundary where the Clearwater National Forest meets the Nez Perce National Forest, a region characterized by high-elevation ridges and isolated alpine basins. Drainages such as Big Sand Cr and Little Dead Elk Cr carve through the steep terrain, feeding into a network of high-country water bodies including Hidden Lake, Big Sand Lake, and the remote Goat Lakes near the southern boundary. High points like Diablo Mtn and Footstool Point offer glimpses into the complex hydrology of the Bitterroot range, where features like Horse Heaven Meadows suggest pockets of softer terrain amidst the sharp summits of the Goat Heaven Peaks.
