About this map

Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundaries of the Nez Perce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest meet. The map reveals a high-country network of ridge-line crossings such as Sabe Saddle and Horse Heaven Saddle, along with significant landmarks like Sabe Mountain and White Top Mountain.

Transport and movement across the terrain are defined by primitive routes including the Nez Perce Road and the Wilderness Trail. The drainage patterns show a complex system of remote water bodies, from Burnt Knob Lakes and Stillman Lake in the north to the Middle Trilby Lake and Lower Trilby Lake nestled in the southern basins. A Helispot near Bend Creek and a Campsite at Dry Saddle indicate the essential backcountry infrastructure used by the Forest Service during the late 1990s.
