1990 Map of Bechtel Butte

About this map

Bechtel Butte stands as the primary landmark in this upland Idaho landscape where the borders of Latah, Shoshone, and Clearwater counties converge. The drainage patterns of the St Maries River and the E Fk Potlatch River define the local topography, carving paths through the timbered terrain. Notable for those interested in local land use, the map identifies a Race Track and a Gravel Pit, alongside named points such as Sherwin Point and the high meadow of Badger Meadows. Numerous tributary streams like Emerald Cr, Purdue Creek, and Bobs Creek illustrate a dense hydrographic network, while labels for Sherwin and Keeler indicate specific topographic or localized identification points in a region primarily shaped by its waterways and ridges.
