1995 Map of Moose Ridge

About this map

Moose Ridge anchors this 1990s topographic landscape, where the Middle Fork Selway River and the Wild and Scenic River Selway River converge in a high-elevation backcountry environment. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, this region within the Nez Perce National Forest and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness is defined by its lack of road infrastructure, relying instead on the Moose Creek Airstrip for access. Notable vertical landmarks include Shearer Peak, Tony Point, and Patrol Point, which overlook a network of drainages such as Bitch Creek and Lonesome Creek. The map documents a strictly protected wilderness area in the mid-1990s, capturing the specific geography of remote high-country water sources like Bitch Lake and the ridgeline trails used for forest management and fire lookout placement.
