1988 Map of Avery

About this map

Avery sits at the confluence of the St Joe River and Avery Creek in Shoshone County, serving as a focal point for this 1980s landscape dominated by the St Joe National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior defined by a high Divide and numerous peaks such as Marcus Cook Peak, Mozier Peak, and Arid Peak. An Old RR Grade winds along the river valley, marking the path of former rail operations through the mountains, while a network of Pack Trails provides access to remote points like Cedar Lake and Hammond. The presence of several Tunnels and a Lookout Tower near Arid Peak reflects the intersection of early industrial engineering and forestry management in the Idaho panhandle. This survey captures the region's character through its drainage patterns, including Slate Creek and the North Fork, alongside local landmarks like Trego Point and Avery Hill.
