About this map

North Pole serves as a central reference point in this high-altitude landscape within the Nez Perce National Forest. The area is characterized by a dense network of water systems and steep drainage basins, including the headwaters of Tenmile Creek, Twentymile Creek, and Wildhorse Creek. A series of alpine lakes, such as Wiseboy Lakes, Kelly Lake, and Crystal Lake, are clustered near the southern boundary, indicating a complex glacial history that shaped these basins.

Evidence of human activity and resource extraction is noted through several mining-related markers such as pb41 and pb44, which are situated along the ridges above Calendar Canyon. The landscape is protected under the Gospel-Hump Wilderness designation, preserving the primitive character of land features like Twentymile Butte and Tenmile Ridge. This map provides a clear view of the high-country transition between deep canyons and prominent ridges in central Idaho.
