2011 Map of Scurvy Mountain

About this map

Scurvy Mountain Lookout stands as a prominent high point in this backcountry region of Idaho, surveying a landscape defined by high ridges and a dense network of watercourses. The drainage patterns of the area are centered around the North Fork Clearwater River and the significant Kelly Creek, which are fed by numerous smaller streams such as Slippery Creek and Paradise Creek. Evidence of high-altitude navigation is found along Moose Creek Rd as it winds through the northern terrain near Moose Creek Buttes. The elevation profile is further detailed by landmarks like Switchback Hill and Scurvy Mountain, while the presence of Scurvy Lake provides a notable riparian feature amidst the steep geography. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the remote character of the Clearwater National Forest area through its hydrographic and topographic detail.
