About this map

Nez Perce Trail Rd follows the high ridgelines across this portion of the Nez Perce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest, marking a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. The terrain is punctuated by significant summits and passages including Sabe Mtn, White Top Mtn, and Dry Saddle. High-altitude water bodies such as Macarthur Lake and the Burnt Knob Lakes feed a complex drainage system of creeks, including Burnt Knob Cr and Sabe Cr, which flow toward the Little Clearwater River.

The isolated Horse Heaven Cabin sits near Horse Heaven Saddle, suggesting the enduring presence of forest management and traditional transit routes in this backcountry. Small alpine features like Middle Trilby Lake and Lower Trilby Lake are tucked into the basins, while Sabe Vista Point offers a prominent overlook of the surrounding wilderness. The map provides a clear view of the survey townships T28N R12E and T27N R13E, where the boundary between two national forests meets.
