2020 Map of Mink Peak

About this map

The Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through the protected wilderness of the Nez Perce National Forest in this 2020 survey. This area of Idaho County is defined by its dramatic verticality, where high-altitude landmarks like Mink Peak and Wolf Point look down upon the river canyon below. Significant water features such as Doe Lake and the thermal waters of Morten Hot Springs are situated in a landscape largely untouched by modern infrastructure. The map documents the intricate drainage network of the Clearwater River system, including Three Links Cr and Marten Cr. Key topographic formations like Sixtytwo Ridge and Dry Bar illustrate the geological forces at work, providing a detailed record for those studying the remote interior of the Idaho panhandle.
