1990 Map of Abes Knob

About this map

St Joe National Forest dominates this northern Idaho landscape at the start of the 1990s, defined by the drainage systems of the Potlatch River and the Palouse River. The map captures a high-elevation backcountry where the Hoodoo Mountains meet the Boise Meridian. Resource extraction and recreation converge at the Mizpah Mine near Mizpah Creek and the Moose Creek Reservoir to the south. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the transition from peaks like Abes Knob and Beals Butte down to the broad, flat expanses of Cougar Meadows and Moose Meadows. The network of small waterways, such as East Fork Emerald Creek and Little East Fk Emerald Cr, illustrates the complex hydrology of this timber-rich region, while a dedicated Pack Trail suggests the limited access to the interior of these forest lands.
