About this map

Nez Perce National Forest encompasses the entirety of this high-elevation landscape in central Idaho, where drainage systems like Lake Cr and Big Cr carve through a series of prominent landforms. The high ground is dominated by features such as Columbia Ridge, Silver Spur Ridge, and Drumlummon Ridge, reflecting the complex topography of the Clearwater Mountains region.

Evidence of remote infrastructure is centered around the Orogrande-Dixie Rd, which provides access to the Dixie USFS Airport in the southeastern quadrant. The map detail highlights significant natural landmarks including Fish Lake in the northwest and Big Creek Meadows to the east. The intersection of these timbered ridges and deep canyons like Calendar Canyon and Jumbo Canyon illustrates the traditional transit corridors used for forest management and local aviation in the modern era.
