About this map

Shissler Peak and the surrounding high country of the Nez Perce National Forest dominate this landscape, where the confluence of the North Fork Moose Creek and the East Fork Moose Creek forms the main stem of Moose Creek. This remote interior of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness is defined by its deep drainage systems and lack of conventional road access, relying instead on the Moose Creek Airstrip for connectivity.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated at the Moose Creek Ranger Station and the Freeman Place, representing the sparse outposts within the protected corridor of the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River. The map meticulously details numerous tributaries like Whistling Pig Creek, Graves Creek, and Trout Creek, while prominent terrain features like Log Ridge and Goat Mountain provide significant landmarks for navigation within this complex wilderness topography.
