About this map

Nez Perce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of Idaho County, where steep drainages and prominent ridges define the territory. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, most notably at the steep descent known as The Drop-off near Three Prong Mtn. Water systems are central to the topography, with Bargamin Cr and Running Cr cutting through the deep valleys.

Relatively few human imprints exist in this wilderness, though Running Creek Rd and RD 357 provide limited access to remote points like Warm Springs Bar and the open flats of Lynx Meadows. For researchers and historians, the map preserves the exact alignment of these back-country routes and the specific nomenclature of named features like Parachute Ridge and Patrol Ridge as they existed in the early 21st century.
