About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this Idaho interior, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges and deep drainage basins. Centered on Toboggan Ridge, the landscape drops steeply into the valleys of Kellys Creek and its many tributaries, including Polar Cr and Bear Cr. The topography reveals an intricate system of natural landmarks with localized names such as Kellys Thumb, Kellys Sister, and Toboggan Hill.

Hanson Meadows provides a distinct break in the otherwise heavily contoured slopes near Hanson Cr. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a wilderness area primarily managed for timber and conservation, where human presence is mostly limited to forest service access roads. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns that feed the larger river systems of the region, from Mink Cr in the south to the northern reaches of Little Moose Ridge.
