About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where the North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep valley through the Sheep Mountain Range. This mid-2010s survey captures a region defined by high-elevation peaks and narrow river bars, most notably the area around Moscow Bar and the adjacent Moscow Bar Ridge. The drainage pattern is intricate, with numerous tributaries such as Nub Cr, Skull Cr, and Grizzly Cr feeding into the main river channel.

Remote ridges and peaks, including The Nub, Lost Ridge, and Bald Knob, provide a framework for the local topography. Historic land use is suggested by the network of forestry roads like Co RD 711 and Co RD 252, which provide access to high points like Indian Henry Ridge and Wallow Mtn. The map preserves the specific placement of isolated water features like Nub Lakes and Pot Cr, essential for understanding the hydrology of this protected wilderness area.
