About this map

Red River and its numerous tributaries, including the South Fork Red River, Trapper Creek, and Big Mallard Creek, carve through this central Idaho landscape. The presence of the Steckner Mine near Steckner Creek points to the area's history of mineral exploration, while the Mullins Airstrip near Lightfoot illustrates the reliance on bush aviation for navigating this interior terrain.

Logistics and recreation are centered around established outposts like the Cook Ranch and the high-elevation crossing at Jack Creek Summit. Forest access is maintained via routes such as Red River Rd and Montana Rd, connecting the scattered Red River Campground and Ditch Creek Campground. The map details a transition from river bottoms to high peaks like Jack Mountain, showcasing the complex drainage patterns that define the Nez Perce National Forest region.
