2024 Map of Spread Creek Point

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the rugged topography is defined by the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. The map reveals a complex network of drainage basins, with Bargamin Creek and its many tributaries, including Poet Creek and Cache Creek, carving deep through the terrain. Evidence of early access and historical transit is seen in the high ridgeline routes of Montana Rd and Elk Mountain Rd, which snake across the northern sections near Grouse Creek Point. The presence of Nez Perce Trail Rd in the northeast suggests the persistence of historic corridors through these mountains. Isolated alpine water bodies like Upper Trilby Lake, Spread Point Lake, and Bleak Gr Lake are tucked into the high basins, emphasizing the remote and pristine nature of this protected wilderness area.
