2013 Map of Trapper Creek

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest encompasses this mountain landscape, defined by the complex drainage network of the Red River and the S Fork Red River. The map documents a sparsely populated region of Idaho County where human presence is marked by scattered outposts like Lightfoot and Cook Ranch. High elevation landmarks such as Jack Creek Summit dictate the flow of forest roads, including Red River Rd and Montana Rd. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern management of these timberlands, highlighting recreational access points like Red River Campground and Ditch Creek Campground. The intricate system of waterways, including Trapper Creek and Jack Creek, reveals a geography where development is confined to narrow valleys and established forest service routes, reflecting the enduring character of the Idaho backcountry.
