About this map

The Nez Perce National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, characterized by a complex network of high ridges and narrow creek drainages. Significant elevation changes are marked by Banner Ridge in the northwest and Arrison Ridge to the south, with the terrain falling away into deep gulches like South Fork Baker Gulch and South Fork Skookumchuck Creek. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of forest management through named routes such as Dairy Mtn Rd and Skookumchuck Rd, providing access to remote points like Patrol Point and Shells Lick.

Hydrography is central to the area's geography, with McKinzie Creek and Slippy Creek carving through the central forest lands before joining larger systems like Slate Creek at the southern boundary. This map captures the modern layout of these wilderness access roads and drainage basins, reflecting the ongoing role of the U.S. Geological Survey in documenting the Pacific Northwest’s national forest lands.
