About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage systems of the American River and its numerous tributaries. High points like Lick Point and Ericson Ridge overlook a complex network of forest roads, including Falls Point Rd and Co Rd 443. The map detail reveals the distinct alpine openings of Buck Meadows and Marten Meadows, providing clear landmarks for those navigating the backcountry.

The watershed is defined by several converging forks, including the W Fork American River and the E Fork American River, alongside smaller streams such as Lightning Fork Little Elk Cr and Rumpus Cr. These watercourses reveal the underlying topography of the region, where named ridges like Flatiron Ridge separate narrow creek valleys. This 2020 survey records the state of forest access and natural hydrology in Idaho County, marking specific forest service routes like Nat For Dev Rd 9708.
