1994 Map of Scurvy Mountain

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this landscape, where the North Fork Clearwater River and Kelly Creek carve deep through high-elevation terrain. This mid-1990s survey preserves the administrative and access network of the U.S. Forest Service, highlighting essential backcountry infrastructure such as the Junction Creek Pack Bridge and the Scurvy Lookout atop Scurvy Mountain. The map detail reveals a specialized lexicon of the Idaho wilderness, from the open expanses of Paradise Meadows and Pony Flats to the steep relief of the Moose Mountains and Moose Buttes. Water resources are central to this area's geography, with countless drainages like Canyon Creek, Slippery Creek, and Barnard Creek feeding into the larger river systems. For researchers, these labels reflect a history of forest management and backcountry travel, marking high-country crossings such as Scurvy Saddle and Windy Bill Saddle.
