2017 Map of Larch Butte

About this map

Clearwater National Forest defines the landscape of this Idaho interior, where the North Fork Clearwater River watershed is etched by a complex network of creeks. Significant elevation shifts are marked by prominent points like Gobblers Knob and Sevenmile Point, while ridgelines such as Tamarack Ridge and Hemlock Ridge provide the structural backbone for the region's geography. Access through this backcountry is facilitated by forest routes including French Mountain Rd and Three Bear Rd. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Orogrande Cr and Tamarack Cr carving deep valleys through the timbered terrain. This survey provides a clear look at the topographic character of the region near Larch Butte, illustrating the relationship between the high Sylvan Saddle and the various watercourses like Sylvan Cr that feed the river systems below.
