2011 Map of Pot Mountain

About this map

Pot Mountain and the high ridges of the Bitterroot Range dominate this northern Idaho landscape, where steep drainages feed the winding North Fork Clearwater River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain streams, including Teakweh Creek, Sprague Creek, and the curiously named Death Creek, all flowing through deep canyons toward the main river corridor. High-elevation water bodies like Pot Lake and Jack Lake sit tucked below the peaks. Human impact is minimal and concentrated along the riverbanks, where Co RD 250 provides the primary access route through the wilderness. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition into the modern era, noting specialized sites such as Elk Yard and the confluence of Waitas Creek with the North Fork Clearwater.
