About this map

The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness dominates this remote stretch of Idaho County, where the Selway River carves through the central corridor. This waterway, designated as part of the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River system, is characterized by its white water, including Double Drop Rapids. The Moose Creek USFS Airport serves as a rare point of access for aircraft near Cedar Flats, surrounded by the extensive heights of the Bitterroot Mountains.

High-altitude landmarks such as Shearer Peak and Patrol Point offer overlook positions across a landscape defined by sharp topographical changes. Numerous drainages like Holloway Creek, Magpie Creek, and Bitch Creek feed into the river system. The presence of Bitch Lake and meadows like Fox Park suggest the specific pockets of hydrology and habitat found along the spine of Moose Ridge and Wylies Ridge within the Nez Perce National Forest.
