2013 Map of Tom Beal Peak

About this map

Tom Beal Peak dominates the high-elevation terrain of this portion of the Clearwater National Forest, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems. The northern edge of the map follows the corridor of the Lochsa River, a central artery for the region's hydrology. This survey reveals a wilderness area shaped by significant elevation markers like Hot Springs Point and Cooperation Point, which stand as sentinels over the various tributaries. The map details an intricate web of watercourses, including the south-flowing Warm Springs Cr and the winding paths of Wind Lakes Cr and Saturday Cr. These features reflect a topography where steep ridges and deep creek beds dictate the movement through the forest, emphasizing the area's character as a preserved natural watershed in the early 21st century.
