2011 Map of Sabe Mountain

About this map

Nez Perce Trail Rd winds across the high Idaho terrain, following a corridor of significant historical passage through the Clearwater National Forest. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service documents a landscape defined by prominent peaks and mountain saddles, including Sabe Mountain, White Top Mountain, and the notable Sabe Vista Point. The high-elevation hydrology is characterized by several alpine bodies such as Macarthur Lake, Stillman Lake, and Upper Trilby Lake, which feed a complex network of drainages like the Little Clearwater River and Burnt Knob Creek. Cultural markers are sparse but significant, most notably the Horse Heaven Cabin located near Horse Heaven Saddle, providing a waypoint for those navigating the ridge-lines and remote basins of Idaho County.
