About this map

St Joe National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which was revised in the mid-1990s based on data spanning back several decades. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Aldermand Ridge and Norwegian Ridge, which overlook a network of drainages including Three Bear Creek and Long Meadow Creek. Human presence is largely tied to forest management and recreation, evidenced by the Mason Lookout atop Mason Butte and several Campsites along the shoreline.

The southern edge of the map reveals the waters of the Dworshak Reservoir, a significant geographic feature that transformed the local river system. The boundary between Latah Co and Clearwater Co runs through the center, marking a transition between high-elevation meadows like Mason Meadows and the timbered slopes. Notable landmarks for local history include Browns Camp and the Latah Co Sheriffs Posse Campground, reflecting the area's long-standing use for both law enforcement training and public backcountry access.
