About this map

Nez Perce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest converge in this high-elevation wilderness, where the drainage systems of the Selway-Bitterroot area are clearly defined. The terrain is anchored by prominent summits such as Mt George and Bad Luck Mtn, with Cedar Saddle providing a distinctive topographic landmark between deep creek valleys. The water network is particularly dense, with Brushy Fork Cr and Fry-Pan Cr carving through the northern sections while White Cap Creek and Gardiner Fork dominate the southern reaches.

This 2017 survey illustrates the complex hydrography of the region, including smaller tributaries like Bad Luck Cr, Lookout Cr, and S Fork Lookout Cr. The lack of road infrastructure and human settlements emphasizes the character of this protected forest interior. For researchers of Idaho's wilderness history, the map provides precise locations for remote points like Cub Point and the intersection of various forest boundaries.
