2011 Map of The Nub

About this map

North Fork Clearwater River carves through this part of Clearwater County, shaping a landscape defined by deep drainages and prominent ridges. Near the river's bend, Moscow Bar and the elevated Moscow Bar Ridge suggest a history of riparian activity, while the presence of Collins Creek Cabin to the north points toward the area's utility for forestry or remote habitation. The terrain is marked by high points like The Nub, Wallow Mountain, and Bald Knob, which overlook a dense network of watercourses including Skull Creek, Quartz Creek, and Rock Creek. These waterways and the forest roads like Co RD 252 and Co RD 711 illustrate how this part of the Idaho wilderness was accessed and managed in the early 21st century, providing a clear record of the geographic landmarks used by local travelers and outdoorsmen.
