About this map

The North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through this section of the Clearwater National Forest, serving as the central geographic feature of the region. Along its banks, the Moscow Bar Industrial Camp and the broader Moscow Bar area indicate localized human activity within the otherwise wild terrain. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Wallow Mtn, Bald Knob, and the distinctive summit of The Nub in the northwest corner.

Conservation interests are highlighted by the Mallard Larkins Pioneer Area, which occupies the high ground above the river valley. The map documents an intricate network of drainages such as Quartz Creek and Grizzly Creek that feed into the main river system. This 1990s revision provides a detailed look at the forest's topographic structure, from the Moscow Bar Ridge to the Sheep Mtn Range, reflecting the area's management by the U.S. Forest Service during this period.
