2024 Map of Wylies Peak

About this map

Wylies Peak rises as a central landmark in this high-altitude reach of central Idaho, where the borders of the Nez Perce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and sharp ridgelines, with Wylies Ridge and Goat Ridge partitioning the terrain. Waterways such as Elk Creek, Goat Creek, and Running Creek carve through the deep canyons, illustrating the watershed patterns preserved within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Evidence of backcountry navigation is visible through the Running Creek Trl, which traverses the southern portion of the map near Archer Mtn and Archer Saddle. The map documents the intersection of administrative forest boundaries and the natural topography of peaks like Box Car Mtn, reflecting the land management and wilderness preservation efforts of the twenty-first century.
