About this map

Anthony Peak dominates the northern landscape of this wilderness survey, standing within the bounds of the St Joe National Forest. The map documents a rugged timber and watershed region at the intersection of the Shoshone Co and Clearwater Co line. A high-altitude Lookout Tower marks the summit of Anthony Peak, overseeing a network of drainage systems including the Middle Fork St Maries R and the headwaters of the Potlatch River.

Logistics in this remote terrain are defined by a series of primitive routes, such as the Pack Trail winding through the northern slopes and a Jeep Trail near Hemlock Butte. In the southern reaches, the water network becomes more intricate with Upper Basin Creek and its tributaries, reflecting the area's role as a vital source for the region's river systems. The inclusion of a Gravel Pit and landmarks like Telephone Booth Hill provide specific touchpoints for local history and resource management during the late 1960s.
