1994 Map of Savage Ridge

About this map

Colt Killed Creek snakes through the center of this mountain landscape, marking a significant drainage divide within the Clearwater National Forest. The geography is defined by high, narrow divides such as Savage Ridge and Hidden Creek Ridge, which separate the myriad small tributaries like Storm Creek and Crab Creek feeding the larger waterway. This 1994 revision reflects the protected status of the eastern and southern portions of the sheet, which fall within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. This wilderness boundary creates a stark transition in land management, where established trails and forest roads give way to undeveloped backcountry. Prominent peaks including Tamarack Mountain provide clear vantage points over the complex network of creeks, such as Rabbit Creek and Savage Creek, that define the Idaho interior before the era of modern road expansion.
