2013 Map of Mount George

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest converge in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, defined by a series of steep drainages and mountain peaks. The geography is dominated by numerous watercourses, including the Gardiner Fork, Brushy Fork Cr, and Lookout Cr. Human infrastructure is sparse, restricted primarily to the Bad Luck Lookout Tower situated atop Bad Luck Mtn, a classic example of fire-detection systems in the American West. Significant landmarks such as Mt George, Cub Point, and Cedar Saddle punctuate the ridges, while the naming conventions of features like Bad Luck Cr, Fry-Pan Cr, and Wapiti Cr reflect the heritage of backcountry navigation and wildlife in this portion of Idaho County.
