2024 Map of Shissler Peak

About this map

The Moose Creek USFS Airport serves as a primary access point for this protected interior of the Nez Perce National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Moose Creek and East Fork Moose Creek. This 2024 survey documents the primitive character of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, an area devoid of modern road networks and instead shaped by steep drainage systems and prominent summits. High points like Shissler Peak and Goat Mtn rise above a network of named watercourses, including Whistling Pig Creek and Rhoda Creek, which carve through the Bitterroot Mountains. The drainage patterns from Log Ridge and Shasta Point demonstrate the complex topography that has historically isolated this region, preserving it as a vast roadless expanse for backcountry transit and wilderness management.
