2020 Map of Pot Mountain

About this map

The Bitterroot Range dominates this landscape, defined by the prominent peak of Pot Mtn and the extended Pot Mtn Ridge. This area within the Clearwater National Forest is characterized by high-elevation terrain and a dense network of mountain drainage. To the north, Pot Lake and Jack Lake sit in the shadow of the peaks, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the North Fork Clearwater River. The river valley acts as a primary corridor for travel and drainage, receiving numerous tributaries including Sprague Cr, Teakweh Cr, and Weitas Creek. Along the river’s edge, Co Rd 250 provides the principal access through the forest, passing below Bugle Point as it winds through the river canyon. This survey records a wilderness largely devoid of permanent settlement, where the topographical features and waterway networks dictate the geography of the northern Idaho interior.
