About this map

Nez Perce National Forest encompasses this high-elevation region of Idaho County, defined by a complex network of ridges and drainages. Major elevations such as Columbia Ridge, Silver Spur Ridge, and Drumlummen Ridge partition the landscape, while Big Creek Meadows provides a significant break in the vertical terrain. Small human imprints are scattered across the wilderness, including Johnson Cabin near Lake Cr and the Dixie USFS Airport in the southeastern quadrant.

Drainages like Crooked Cr, McGuire Cr, and Big Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the remote and hydrological character of this part of the national forest. The map documents several forest roads, such as Nat Forest Develop Road 222 Rd, which connect remote sites like the Halfway House Campground to the broader region. This survey captures a moment of active forest management and recreation in a landscape dominated by the high-country features of the Salmon River mountains.
