About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this landscape in Idaho County, revealing a high-elevation backcountry defined by peaks and glacial basins. The terrain is anchored by prominent elevations such as Marble Butte, Sheep Mtn, and Square Mtn. These summits rise above significant meadowlands and alpine water bodies, including Long Meadow, Anchor Meadow, and the basin holding Square Mountain Lake.

A network of drainage systems, such as Long Meadow Cr and Slaughter Cr, carves through the ridges. The presence of Moores Station Rd in the northwest corner suggests the limited vehicular access typical of protected forest lands. Significant landmarks like Bear Grass Ridge and Plummer Point offer specific points of orientation for researchers and backcountry travelers, while smaller features like Sweet Anise Spring highlight the locations of reliable water sources in this high-altitude environment.
