1995 Map of Mink Peak

About this map

Selway River and its Middle Fork flow through the heart of this protected landscape, where the Nez Perce National Forest meets the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. The terrain is defined by high elevations and sharp ridgelines, including Sixtytwo Ridge and Meeker Ridge, with the prominent Mink Peak standing as a central landmark. A corridor along the river marks the Clearwater and Wild Scenic River Boundary, indicating its status as a preserved waterway. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Marten Hot Springs is situated near Marten Creek, while isolated water bodies like Doe Lake sit deep within the drainage basins of Mink Creek and Doe Creek. This survey reflects a period of modern wilderness management, documenting bench marks and river miles used for navigation and backcountry forestry.
