1998 Map of Mt George

About this map

The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness dominates this remote landscape, where the high-altitude divide separates the drainage of the Nez Perce National Forest from the Bitterroot National Forest. Centered on the prominence of Mount George, the terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain streams including White Cap Creek, Brushy Fork, and Lookout Creek. The 1990s-era forest management is evidenced by the presence of the Moose Creek West Fork Ranger District and the Bad Luck Mountain Lookout. Topographical features such as Cub Point and Cedar Saddle suggest the challenging navigation of this roadless area, which remains largely untouched by development. This map captures the administrative and natural character of the Idaho backcountry before the turn of the millennium, documenting the exact boundaries of these protected wilderness tracts.
