About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this section of Idaho County, where the Selway River carves a deep path through the Clearwater Mountains. The river corridor includes features like Dry Bar, while the surrounding high country is defined by prominent elevations such as Mink Peak and Meeker Ridge. This map captures a landscape shaped by water and elevation, tracing the drainage patterns of Mink Cr, Weasel Cr, and Three Links Cr as they feed into the main river system.

A notable inclusion for researchers is the presence of Marten Hot Springs along Marten Cr in the southeastern quadrant, a site of local geographic interest. The high-altitude terrain is dotted with landmarks like Wolf Point and Doe Lake, which provide a detailed look at the wilderness character of the region. The map also records the precise administrative boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including t32n r11e and t31n r11e, which organize this vast forest territory.
