About this map

The Bitterroot Mountains dominate this high-elevation Idaho terrain, where the upper reaches of the Saint Joe River wind through narrow valleys and gulches. Small settlements such as McDonalds and Olsons are tied to the river's path and the limited road network, including the Fly Hill Rd. The landscape is a network of ridges and peaks, most notably Sherlock Peak, Wisdom Peak, and Yankee Peak.

Resource extraction and backcountry exploration are evident through features like the Gold Nugget Mine and numerous remote water bodies such as Bonanza Lakes, Hidden Lake, and Lost Lake. The drainage system is dense, with many named tributaries like Yankee Bar Creek and Neversweat Creek feeding into the main river channel. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated but geographically complex region defined by its mining history and steep topography.
