2013 Map of Twin Butte

About this map

The Nez Perce National Forest encompasses this wilderness area in Idaho County, defined by a complex drainage system of high-altitude streams. Central to the map is the landmark Twin Butte, a significant peak flanked by the waters of Eben Cr and Bear Cr. The landscape is dominated by long, prominent crests such as Pettibone Ridge in the northwest and Elk Ridge to the east. These landforms shape the paths of numerous waterways, including Paradise Cr and Pettibone Cr, which carve through the steep topography. The lack of developed infrastructure or named settlements highlights the preserved nature of this forest terrain in the early 21st century. Instead, the map provides a look at the natural hydrology and topographical relief that characterizes this portion of the Clearwater Mountains region.
