About this map

Jerry Johnson Hot Springs sits at the western edge of this backcountry landscape, where the Middle Fork Lochsa River flows through the northern reaches of Idaho County. The terrain is defined by its lack of established roads, relying instead on a network of named trails that cross the boundary between the Clearwater National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.

High points such as Tom Beal Peak and Cooperation Point rise above a series of drainages, including Warm Springs Creek and Tom Beal Creek. Remote water features like the Wind Lakes and Saturday Creek characterize the southern high country. This mid-1960s survey provides a look at the region just as it was designated for protection, showing the early infrastructure of footpaths and pack trails that connected these thermal springs and alpine summits before later forest revisions.
