2011 Map of Sable Hill

About this map

Red River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, joined by a complex network of drainage systems such as Shissler Creek and Boston Creek. The terrain is defined by the convergence of numerous named waterways, including the upper reaches of Sable Creek and its forks, which create a deeply etched topography typical of the Idaho interior. Human infrastructure is limited to specialized Forest Service routes like FS Rd 1166 and the descriptive Hot Springs Rd, indicating the area's primary use for timber management and backcountry access. This map reveals a high density of named minor tributaries, such as Biscuit Creek and Tamarack Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Nez Perce National Forest region in the early twenty-first century.
