2020 Map of Mount George

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest meet in this high-altitude drainage of Idaho County. The terrain is structured by prominent ridgelines and summits, including the notable Mount George and Bad Luck Mtn to the south. A central topographic feature, the Forest Divide, runs through the northern half of the quadrangle, separating the various forks and creeks that define the watershed. Waterways such as Gardiner Fork and Bad Luck Creek carve through the landscape, feeding into larger systems like Whitecap Creek. The map documents a wilderness landscape defined by its complex drainage networks and high points like Cub Point and Cedar Saddle. This survey reflects the modern management of these federal forest lands, showing the established naming conventions for the remote peaks and creek forks that have historically served as landmarks for backcountry travel and resource management in the region.
