2024 Map of Mount George

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest and the Bitterroot National Forest converge in this high-elevation wilderness, where the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness protects a network of ancient ridgeline paths and watercourses. Significant topographic landmarks like Mt George and Bad Luck Mtn anchor the landscape, which is defined by steep drainage basins feeding the Gardiner Fork and Brushy Fork Creek. A remote system of pack trails, including the Forest Divide Trl and Mount George Trl, provides the primary access through this roadless interior, following the natural contours of the Bitterroot Mountains. The map traces the historical significance of the Cedar Saddle and Cub Point as transit nodes between deep canyons and higher peaks, illustrating the rugged character of the Idaho backcountry.
