2017 Map of Avery

About this map

Avery and Stetson serve as the primary human touchpoints in this section of the St. Joe National Forest, where the Saint Joe River and its north fork converge. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high mountain peaks, including Marcus Cook Peak, Arid Peak, and Mozier Peak. The area's resource-based history is marked by the presence of the Big Dick mine and a network of gulches such as Jitney Gulch and Coddington Gulch. Transportation follows the water, with the St Joe River Rd and N Fork St Joe River Rd providing access through the steep terrain. For those tracing the geography of Shoshone County, the map provides detailed contours along the Hammond-Kyle Divide and specific landmarks like Hammond Point and Trego Point, reflecting a territory where wilderness and light industry meet.
