About this map

Bitterroot National Forest defines the high-altitude topography of this Idaho County region, where steep drainages feed into the Selway River and the Little Clearwater River. Central to the landscape is Magruder Mtn, surrounded by a series of prominent high points including Deadtop Mtn and Salamander Butte. The map details a network of ridges and saddles, such as Magruder Ridge and Haystack Saddle, which dictate the flow of numerous small creeks like Chuckling Cr and Snow Water Cr.

Evidence of human passage through this wilderness is anchored by the historic Nez Perce Trail in the southwest corner. Recreational use is concentrated near Magruder Crossing, where the Magruder Campground sits along the river. High-country water features like Gold Pan Lake and Elk Track Lakes provide specific points of interest for backcountry researchers and outdoor historians tracing the management of these public lands.
