2020 Map of Lookout Peak

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape along the border of Idaho and Clearwater counties. The area is defined by a dense network of mountain peaks and water sources, including the namesake Lookout Peak and nearby Lookout Lake. The topography is documented by the presence of Little Cabin Meadows and strategic passage points such as 12 Mile Saddle, which sits near the southern edge of the quadrangle. Hydrological patterns are intricate, with drainages like Monroe Creek, Mire Creek, and Indian Grave Creek carving through the steep terrain. Human access is limited to primitive routes like Mire Creek Rd and RD 587, indicating the specialized nature of this backcountry region. Named summits such as Porphyry Peak and Indian Grave Peak provide distinct landmarks for navigating this wilderness, while smaller alpine waters like Gem Lake and Monroe Lake dot the upper elevations.
