2020 Map of Shissler Peak

About this map

Shissler Peak and the surrounding high country of the Nez Perce National Forest dominate this 2020 landscape in Idaho County. The map detailed the complex drainage systems of the North Fork Moose Creek and East Fork Moose Creek, where numerous smaller tributaries like Whistling Pig Cr and Fitting Cr carve through steep terrain. While the area is largely characterized by topographic features such as Log Ridge and Shasta Point, human activity is represented by the remote Moose Creek USFS Airport located at the confluence of several major waterways. This airfield serves as a vital access point for forestry management in an area otherwise devoid of major roads or settlements. Researchers can trace historical survey boundaries across several townships, including t33n r12e and t32n r13e, which mark the administrative divisions of this protected wilderness.
