2011 Map of Lodgepole Creek

About this map

Chamberlain Basin serves as the central geographic feature of this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where high-altitude meadows and a dense network of mountain streams converge. The presence of the Chamberlain US Forest Service Airport and the Hotzel Ranch near Ranch Creek indicates a pattern of seasonal habitation and federal land management in this wilderness area. The drainage system is particularly intricate, with Lodgepole Creek and its many branches, including Little Lodgepole Creek and the Lower Lodgepole Meadow, flowing toward the interior. Significant landmarks such as One Man Butte and Moose Meadows Point provide topographic context for the surrounding system of creeks, including the creatively named Moose Jaw Creek and No Name Creek. The map documents a landscape primarily defined by these hydrological and topographic features, reflecting the remote character of Idaho County.
