About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this interior landscape of Idaho County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges and watercourses. The drainage of North Fork Moose Creek and its many tributaries, such as Rhoda Cr and Sixtytwo Cr, carve deep paths between prominent elevations like Shissler Peak and Goat Mtn. This 2013 survey illustrates a wilderness characterized by geographic isolation, yet it remains anchored by the Moose Creek Airport in the south, a critical access point for this roadless backcountry.

Prominent features such as Log Ridge and Shasta Point provide vantage points over the complex hydrology of the Clearwater region. The map also includes several designated parcel blocks like PB 37 and PB 38 along the East Fork Moose Creek, indicating specific land management areas within the national forest. Small, descriptively named streams like Whistling Pig Cr and Fitting Cr reflect the local lore of the trappers and foresters who first navigated these drainages.
