1995 Map of Bathtub Mountain

About this map

St Joe National Forest dominates this landscape in the northern Idaho Panhandle, where high ridgelines and deep creek drainages define the geography. Centered on Bathtub Mtn, the terrain is marked by prominent crests including Lightning Ridge and Surveyors Ridge, which separate the watersheds of Canyon Creek and Bluff Creek. The presence of Bathtub Meadows and Pineapple Spring suggests pockets of more level, watered ground amidst the otherwise steep slopes of the Bitterroot Range. While largely a wilderness area by the mid-1990s, human activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary and the network of forest trails or service roads indicated throughout the forest. This map captures the intricate drainage system of the St. Joe River basin, tracing countless named tributaries like Spotted Louis Creek and Pappose Creek as they descend from peaks such as Fortune Point and Junction Peak.
