2020 Map of Spot Mountain

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest encompasses this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where steep drainages and prominent peaks define the geography. The historic Nez Perce Indian Trail traverses the southeastern quadrant, crossing the slopes of Nick Wynn Mtn. The hydrology is dominated by the Selway River in the northeast and the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River corridor, fed by numerous seasonal and perennial flows including Crooked Cr and Wynn Cr. High-country landmarks such as Spot Mountain, Pyramid Mtn, and Mt Aura offer significant orientation points for the region. The map highlights the intersection of primitive transport routes like Nat For Dev Rd 6223 and more traditional footpaths, reflecting the area's long history of seasonal movement and forest management.
