About this map

Sabe Mountain and the surrounding Idaho high country are defined by a network of historic trails and wilderness boundaries established before the mid-1990s. The map captures the meeting of three major protected areas: the Nez Perce National Forest, the Bitterroot National Forest, and the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. This landscape is primarily accessible via the Nez Perce Trail and various pack trails, which navigate between prominent ridges and summits like White Top Mtn and Burnt Knob.

A series of high-altitude glacial lakes, including Stillman Lake, MacArthur Lake, and the Burnt Knob Lakes, dot the northern and western sections of the quadrangle. These water bodies feed into complex drainage systems like Basin Creek and the Clearwater River. The inclusion of specific ridge crossings like Dry Saddle and Horse Heaven Saddle illustrates the traditional routes used by travelers moving through this portion of the Salmon River Mountains.
