2013 Map of Moose Ridge

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Idaho County, centered on the prominent spine of Moose Ridge. The Selway River flows through the northern reaches of the quadrangle, navigating significant whitewater at Double Drop Rapids near Cedar Flats. This 2013 survey details a remote wilderness area where transportation is limited to the Moose Creek Airport and a network of named trails connecting points such as Patrol Point and Shearer Peak. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous creeks like Hell Cr and Lonesome Cr carving the terrain between Wylies Ridge and Tony Point. Genealogists and historians can use these specific landmarks to trace early forest service activity and the geographical context of back-country Idaho, including isolated features like Bitch Lake and the open high-country meadow at Fox Park.
