2020 Map of McGary Butte

About this map

McGary Butte and Jackson Mtn dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Latah and Clearwater counties. This 2020 survey documents a rugged timber and watershed region defined by the headwaters of the E Fork Potlatch River and numerous drainages like Butterfield Cr and Ruby Cr. Small settlements and named locations such as Neva and Kameron sit along the corridors of N 3rd St and Elk River Rd, reflecting the sparse but enduring human presence in the Idaho panhandle's backcountry. The map also identifies significant openings in the forest canopy, including Bloom Meadows, Round Meadows, and Oviatt Meadows, which provide clear landmarks for navigation through the dense drainage networks of the Clearwater National Forest vicinity.
