1969 Map of Bathtub Mtn

About this map

The St Joe National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Idaho’s Shoshone County, where a intricate network of drainage systems defines the terrain. Recorded in the late 1960s, the map highlights the prominence of Bathtub Mtn and the adjacent Bathtub Meadows, which sit atop a significant Divide separating various mountain watersheds. The area is marked by a legacy of back-country access, visible through the numerous Pack Trails that connect peaks such as Sawtooth Peak, Junction Peak, and Canyon Peak. Water sources like Pineapple Spring and creeks such as Spotted Louis Creek and Lightning Creek are critical features in this wilderness environment. The inclusion of labels like Surveyors Ridge reflects the human history of mapping and managing these remote stretches of the Bitterroot range before modern road development was widespread.
