About this map

McConnell Mountain stands as a central peak in this high-elevation landscape within Idaho County, characterized by a complex network of drainage basins and ridges. The terrain is defined by its water sources, including the headwaters of West Moose Creek and North Fork Moose Creek, which carve through the territory. High-altitude meadows such as Chain Meadows and Lost Knife Meadows indicate a geography where open basins break the forested slopes.

Prominent landmarks such as Wounded Doe Ridge and California Point provide clear orientation for the surrounding drainage systems, while California Lake offers a rare still-water feature in this watershed. The nomenclature, featuring names like Barren Hill and Gypsy Creek, reflects the typical naming conventions of early backcountry surveys and local geographic identification used in the region's wilderness management.
