About this map

Floodwood Creek and its complex drainage system dominate this northern Idaho landscape, illustrating the remote backcountry of Shoshone County in the early twenty-first century. The map highlights a network of forest management and backcountry activity, centered around sites like Floodwood Camp and Mix Cabin. Higher elevations are marked by historical fire management points, including Stocking Meadow Lookout and the Freezeout Trail Lookout, which offer views over the surrounding ridges like Freezeout Mtn and Pinchot Butte.

The southern edge of the survey captures the northern reaches of the Dworshak Reservoir, where the Little North Fork Clearwater River enters the impoundment. This area is defined by its deep drainages, including Stanton Creek, Breakfast Creek, and Meadows Creek, all feeding into the larger river system. Navigation through this wilderness relies on established routes like Freezeout Mtn Rd and the US Forest Service road NFD 457, connecting isolated mountain passes such as Coopers Saddle.
