2013 Map of Lowell

About this map

Lowell sits at the dramatic confluence of the Lochsa River and the Selway River, serving as a gateway to the dense wilderness of North Central Idaho. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the boundaries of the Clearwater National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest. The map documents the vital corridor of US Hwy 12, which follows the winding riverbanks past remote access points like Apgar Campground and Glade Creek Campground. Steep elevation changes are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Knife Edge Ridge and Coolwater Ridge, while numerous water sources like Icicle Spring and Lottie Cr feed into the river systems. The sparse road network, including Cabin Creek Rd and Coolwater Rd, highlights the area's character as a managed forest environment where recreational sites and natural landmarks define the human presence.
