2011 Map of Shissler Peak

About this map

Shissler Peak and Goat Mountain dominate this high-elevation Idaho County landscape, where an intricate network of waterways drains the Nez Perce-Clearwater region. The hydrological pattern is defined by the North Fork Moose Creek and its many tributaries, including Sixtytwo Creek, Rhoda Creek, and the curiously named Whistling Pig Creek. The map documents a primitive wilderness character, lacking major roads and relying instead on the natural topography of ridges like Log Ridge and prominent summits such as Cone Peak and Shasta Point. This U.S. Geological Survey record reveals the drainage systems of Moose Creek and Log Creek in significant detail, illustrating the complex landforms of the Bitterroot area as they were surveyed in the early 21st century.
