2017 Map of Trapper Creek

About this map

The Clearwater Fish Hatchery stands as a significant human installation within the expansive wilderness of the Nez Perce National Forest. Located at the confluence where Blanco Creek and Moose Butte Creek meet the Red River, this facility marks a vital intersection of conservation and natural waterways in Idaho County. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems, with the S Fork Red River and Trapper Creek carving through the high country. High-altitude landmarks like Jack Creek Summit provide navigational anchors for those traveling the forest service roads. A network of primitive routes, including Red River Rd, Montana Rd, and Jack Mountain Rd, provides the only access through these steep drainages, following the contours of the land to connect the various creek basins and remote forest sections.
