2024 Map of Sheep Mountain

About this map

The North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep valley through this portion of the Clearwater National Forest, serving as the primary drainage for a network of steep-sloped creeks. High points including West Sister and Preceptor Point define the northern skyline above the river, while the Sheep Mountain Range dominates the central and southern terrain. This area is characterized by significant elevation changes, with ridges such as Fern Ridge and passes like Swanson Saddle providing the primary structure for the landscape. Local infrastructure is limited to a series of Forest Service routes, including Co RD 700 and Co RD 685, which navigate the difficult topography near Sheep Mtn. The map documents a strictly wilderness character, with numerous named waterways like Isabella Creek and Sourdough Creek feeding the river system.
