About this map

The North Fork Clearwater River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a deep drainage within the Clearwater National Forest. The 2017 survey reveals a terrain defined by significant vertical relief, where high points like Junction Mountain and the Pot Mtn Ridge overlook a complex network of tributary streams including Cold Springs Cr, Fourth of July Cr, and Camp George Cr.

Transport through this isolated region is limited to narrow corridors like Co Rd 250 and the Black Canyon Rd, which trace the river and Kelly Creek. The map details the transition into the Black Canyon area, a name that suggests the geological character of the canyon floor. For those studying the hydrology and forestry of Clearwater County, this map provides a detailed view of the watershed before various mountain creeks merge with the main river stem.
