2011 Map of Savage Ridge

About this map

Colt Killed Creek dominates the drainage patterns of this high Idaho County backcountry, where the rugged terrain is defined by Savage Ridge and Tamarack Mountain. The landscape is primarily shaped by a dense network of tributaries including Big Sand Creek, Rabbit Creek, and Storm Creek, which carve through the wilderness of the Clearwater region. Human activity is centered around the few accessible points along the western edge, notably at the Colt Creek Campground and via the winding path of Hoodoo Lake Rd. The presence of the Colt Creek Cabin suggests a legacy of seasonal use, whether for forestry, monitoring, or backcountry travel. The survey details the intricate intersections of small watercourses like Alkire Creek and Swamp Creek, providing a technical look at the area's hydrology before these remote drainages feed into larger river systems.
