1995 Map of Avery

About this map

The St Joe Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through this portion of the St Joe National Forest, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the settlement at Avery. This 1990s revision reveals the complex relationship between the steep mountain terrain and the infrastructure required to navigate it. High ridges such as the Slate Creek Divide and peaks like Marcus Cook Peak and Storm Mountain dominate the landscape, while the river valley at the bottom of the quadrangle is punctuated by a series of engineered features including Tunnel 18, Tunnel 19, and Tunnel 22. A Water Tank near the riverbank at Avery points to the area's historical logistical needs. From the fire-watch vantage point of the Arid Peak Lookout to the tucked-away Cedar Lake, the map traces a network of gulches and creeks like Jitney Gulch and Trego Gulch that feed into the main waterway.
