About this map

North Pole serves as a prominent high-altitude landmark within this section of the Nez Perce National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of significant drainage systems and alpine basins, including Tenmile Cr, Twentymile Cr, and Williams Cr. These waterways are fed by high-country water bodies such as Kelly Lake, Wiseboy Lakes, and Twentymile Lake.

Evidence of historical access and backcountry travel is visible through named routes like Buffalo Hump Rd and Sourdough Rd, which provide passage across the ridges. Notable elevation points like Twentymile Butte, Tenmile Hill, and the long stretches of Williams Creek Ridge and Bear Grass Ridge dominate the topography. The presence of several survey markers, labeled as PB41 through PB45, indicates the importance of precise geographic measurement in this remote stretch of Idaho County.
