2024 Map of The Nub

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this landscape, where the North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through the Sheep Mountain Range. The topography is defined by high ridgelines and isolated summits, including the prominent peak of The Nub and the expansive Indian Henry Ridge to the east. Transportation through this backcountry is limited to forest corridors like Co RD 247, which follows the river's bend near Moscow Bar. This 2024 survey captures a wilderness drainage network shaped by dozens of tributaries, from Skull Creek in the north to Pot Creek in the south, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Bitterroot foothills. Notable landmarks such as Bold Knob and Mush Point provide critical orientation points within this dense timberland, while Nub Lakes sit high in the northern alpine terrain.
