About this map

The Nez Perce National Forest dominates this landscape in central Idaho, where a complex network of ridges and drainage basins defines the topography. Evidence of land use and forest management is visible through features like the Wild Horse Corrals and the designated Free Use Point near Free Use Ridge. The map detail follows the steep descent of the McKinzie Creek and Slippy Creek canyons, showing how early roads like Dairy Mountain Road and Banner Creek Road navigated the high terrain of Banner Ridge and Bouffard Ridge.

Lower elevations are marked by the winding course of Slate Creek and the notable Shells Lick near the eastern boundary. This Idaho County survey reflects a modern period of forest service infrastructure, naming points of local significance such as Patrol Point and Gabe Ridge. The topography illustrates the sharp elevation changes between named gulches like Bear Gulch and the high plateaus of Bouffard Flat.
