2017 Map of McGary Butte

About this map

McGary Butte and Jackson Mtn dominate the topography of this Idaho panhandle landscape, marking the high ground between the drainage basins of the E Fork Potlatch River and Cameron Cr. The map details the transition across the Latah Co and Clearwater Co border, where remote forest service roads like Nat For Dev RD 512 and Elk River Rd provide access to high-elevation clearings. These open spaces, identified as Bloom Meadows, Oviatt Meadows, and Round Meadows, indicate the region's historical reliance on seasonal grazing or timber management. The small settlements of Neva and Kameron sit along the lower elevations and creek valleys, serving as focal points for local navigation. Numerous watercourses, including Pivash Cr and Butterfield Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the intricate network of the Potlatch River's upper reaches.
