2011 Map of Spread Creek Point

About this map

Bargamin Creek and its many tributaries define this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the drainage network reaches from the northern heights near Poet Creek to the southern waters of Lake Creek. The topography is shaped by prominent peaks such as Grouse Creek Point and Spread Creek Point, which anchor the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle. Human impact is concentrated along a few forest access routes, most notably the historic Nez Perce Trail Rd and Montana Rd. These roads provide the only reliable access to secluded backcountry destinations like the Poet Creek Campground. High alpine basins tucked between the ridges hold several small water bodies, including Upper Trilby Lake, Bleak Creek Lake, and Saddle Lake, marking the headwaters of the region's complex stream system.
