About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this high-elevation Idaho landscape, defined by a series of prominent ridges and alpine basins. The terrain is structured by Sawyer Ridge and Hungry Ridge, which separate deep drainages like Johns Cr and Slate Cr. Notable for its concentration of high-country water bodies, the area includes the Gospel Lakes chain—comprising Lower Gospel Lake and East Gospel Lake—as well as the Knob Lakes group near Pyramid Point.

A sparse network of forest roads, including Hungry Ridge Rd and Moores Station Rd, provides the only vehicular access through these mountainous townships. The map documents a landscape where natural topography remains the primary feature, from the narrow pass at Merton Creek Saddle to the distinct peak of Dome Hill. It serves as a precise record of the drainage patterns and summits within this remote portion of Idaho County.
