About this map

McConnell Mountain stands as a central peak in this 1990s terrain study, which documents the convergence of three major national forests. The map details the remote transition between Clearwater National Forest to the north and Nez Perce National Forest to the south, with the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness occupying the central corridor. The landscape is defined by long, continuous ridgelines such as Wounded Doe Ridge and Barren Ridge, which dictated the early travel routes and forest boundaries of this region.

Water features are prominent throughout the high country, including Fish Lake and California Lake. The drainage patterns show the complex headwaters of the West Fork Moose Creek and the North Fork Moose Creek, illustrating the natural watershed boundaries used by the U.S. Forest Service for administrative divisions like the District District. Evidence of high-altitude navigation is found at California Point and the Lookout station near the summit of McConnell Mountain.
