About this map

The Selway River cuts through the northeast and southeast corners of this Idaho County wilderness, defining a landscape dominated by the high peaks of the Bitterroot National Forest. The topography is marked by significant summits including Spot Mtn, Pyramid Mtn, and the nearby Little Pyramid, creating a high-elevation environment where drainage basins are sharply defined.

Water flows from these heights through a network of creeks, such as Fire Cr and Echo Cr, which feed into the larger river system. Human infrastructure is limited to the Nat For Dev Rd 6223, emphasizing the primitive nature of this forest land during the early 21st century. Named landmarks like Nick Wynn Mtn and Mt Aura provide specific points of reference for researchers tracing the geographic history and naming conventions of the Idaho backcountry.
