About this map

St. Joe National Forest encompasses much of this Idaho landscape, dominated by the drainage systems of the Palouse River and the Potlatch River. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and divides, including the namesake Abes Knob and the higher Beals Butte to the west. In the northern reaches, the Hoodoo Mountains and the Palouse Divide form a high-altitude boundary where numerous small creeks like Pittwood Cr and Mizpah Cr originate.

A network of specialized routes, including the Emerald Creek Cutoff Ohv and Swamp Ridge Ohv, suggests a modern landscape heavily utilized for forestry management and recreation. Low-lying marshy areas like Cougar Meadows and Moose Meadows sit along the winding courses of the W Fork Potlatch River and Moose Cr, providing clear evidence of the region's complex hydrology. Smaller drainages with distinctive names such as Garnet Gulch, No Name Gulch, and Pee Wee Gulch carve into the eastern slopes near the boundary of t42n r1e.
