2020 Map of Magruder Mountain

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River flows through the northern reaches near Beaver Point. The area is defined by significant elevations, including Magruder Mtn, Deadtop Mtn, and the high ridges of Hells Half-Salmon Mountain. Historically significant routes, notably the Nez Perce Indian Trail, traverse the high ground, connecting remote landmarks like Magruder Saddle and Haystack Saddle. This survey captures a network of resource management and recreational infrastructure, featuring the Salmon Mtn Lookout Nez Perce Trail RD and the primitive Gold Pan Cross Country route. Water features are concentrated in the high basins, including Gold Pan Lake and Elk Track Lakes, which feed the drainages of Magruder Cr and Salamander Creek. The map reflects a modern era of wilderness management where historic indigenous paths are preserved alongside Forest Service roadways.
