About this map

St. Joe National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Shoshone County, defined by a series of prominent peaks and connecting ridges. The topography is dominated by the central bulk of Bathtub Mountain, which gives way to Bathtub Meadows and the headwaters of Bathtub Creek. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, with water moving through steep valleys carved by Papoose Creek and Canyon Creek.

Strategic high points like Snow Peak, Sawtooth Peak, and Pineapple Peak are linked by narrow landforms such as Lightning Ridge and Surveyors Ridge. The transportation network is limited to rugged forest routes like the Avery-Timber Creek Road and specialized paths like the Bluff Spur Connection OHV, reflecting the area's primary use for forestry and recreation. To the southeast, the terrain drops toward Scribner Falls, marking one of the more dramatic elevation changes in this part of the Bitterroot Range.
