2013 Map of Musselshell

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where the Musselshell settlement and Musselshell Meadows sit at the western edge of a complex network of ridges and drainage basins. High points like Austin Ridge and Eldorado Ridge define the vertical relief, with the Austin Ridge Lookout providing a central vantage point over the timbered slopes. The area is defined by its water system, as Lolo Cr, Musselshell Cr, and Eldorado Cr carve through the terrain, joined by numerous named tributaries like White Cr and Utah Cr. A dense system of forest development roads, including the Musselshell Rd, connects remote sites such as Clark Tree and Salmon Trout Camp. This survey reflects the modern management of these high-altitude Idaho lands, where specialized outposts and camps serve as the primary human footprint amidst the peaks of Chamook Ridge and Chamook Saddle.
