2023 Map of Snowy Summit

About this map

Clearwater National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain, where steep drainages and prominent ridges define the landscape near the border of Clearwater Co and Idaho Co. The map area is punctuated by significant landmarks like Snowy Summit and the high-altitude Soldier Meadows. A complex network of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 104, provides access to these remote areas, which were historically traversed via routes like the Lolo Trl. Hydrological features are abundant, with numerous waterways including Hemlock Creek, Hungry Creek, and Middle Creek carving through the mountain system. The presence of named saddles like Beaver Saddle and Beaver Dam Saddle indicates the topography's influence on movement through the Hemlock Ridge and Rocky Ridge areas.
