2020 Map of Junction Mountain

About this map

The North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through the Clearwater National Forest in this interior section of the Idaho panhandle. Dominating the central topography, Junction Mountain rises above the confluence of Junction Creek and the main river channel, while Pot Mountain Ridge defines the northwestern horizon. The landscape is a complex network of drainages, including Fourth of July Creek, Adams Creek, and Ice Creek, which feed into the primary river system. Transportation through this remote terrain is limited to a few arterial routes such as County Road 250 and Black Canyon Road, which follow the natural contours of the river valleys. This map illustrates the intersection of high mountain peaks like Flat Mountain with the steep river gorges that have historically dictated access and resource management within this protected forest region.
