1994 Map of Mc Lendon Butte

About this map

Lochsa Canyon dominates the southeastern quadrant of this terrain, where the Lochsa River carves through the landscape of the Clearwater National Forest. This 1994 revision, based on earlier aerial photography, captures the intricate boundary between national forest lands and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. The map reveals a network of high-elevation points such as Mc Lendon Butte, Fish Butte, and Smoky Peak, interspersed with remote outposts like Obia Cabin. Significant water features including Hungery Creek and Bimerick Creek drain the steep slopes, leading toward the river. The presence of Bimerick Meadows and named landmarks like Ant Hill and Willow Ridge provide specific navigational points for those studying the land use and natural history of this portion of Idaho County during the late twentieth century.
