About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this section of Idaho County, where steep drainages and high ridgelines define the landscape. The waterway of McKinzie Creek flows through the central portion of the map, joined by numerous seasonal drainages like Slippy Cr and Bear Gulch. The terrain is marked by prominent high points and flats, including Bouffard Flat and Patrol Point, which served as critical landmarks for forest management and navigation.

Access through this portion of the Salmon River mountains is illustrated by a network of forest roads and trails, such as Dairy Mtn Rd and Slate Creek Rd. These routes track the natural topography, following ridges like Banner Ridge and Arrison Ridge. The map details the complex drainage systems of the N Fork Skookumchuck Cr and S Fork Skookumchuck Cr, providing an essential view of the region's wilderness character and road development during the twenty-first century.
