2011 Map of Magruder Mountain

About this map

Magruder Mountain and its surrounding peaks dominate this landscape in central Idaho, where the high ridges of Deadtop Mountain and Salamander Ridge separate numerous drainage basins. The Selway River cuts through the northeast corner of the map, and its waters are fed by an intricate network of tributaries including Magruder Creek and the Little Clearwater River. The primitive transportation network is centered on the Nez Perce Trail Rd, which winds through the mountain passes, and Nat For Dev Rd 6223. This 2011 survey documents a territory focused on seasonal recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Magruder Campground and the historic Magruder Crossing point. Topographical features like Haystack Saddle and Kim Creek Saddle highlight the natural gaps used for transit through this mountainous terrain.
