About this map

Anthony Peak serves as a prominent high point in this remote section of the St Joe National Forest, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of several major drainages. The 1969 field survey, later updated in the early 1980s, reveals a landscape primarily accessed by a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails, underscoring the area's isolation and reliance on forest management infrastructure. A Lookout Tower stands atop the peak, overlooking the deep valleys carved by the St Maries River and its numerous tributaries like Cat Spur Creek and Filter Creek.

The boundary between Shoshone and Clearwater counties bisects the map, marking a divide where the northward-flowing waters of the Middle Fork St Maries R meet the southern drainages of the Potlatch River. Landmarks such as Hemlock Butte and the curiously named Telephone Booth Hill provide specific points of reference for researchers tracing the historical development of timber access and fire suppression routes in the Idaho Panhandle.
