1994 Map of Bechtel Butte

About this map

The St Joe National Forest dominates this landscape in Northern Idaho, where the complex terrain is defined by high points like Bechtel Butte and Sherwin Point. This 1990s revision captures a wilderness area marked by its hydrology, where the St Maries River and its tributaries, such as Cat Spur Creek and Mazie Creek, carve through the forest. The map documents an area of shifting administrative boundaries, notably where the forest is administered by Clearwater National Forest. Along the southern edge, the Potlatch River flows near Badger Meadows, while landmarks like Sherwin and No Name Gulch provide specific points of reference for those tracing the history of land use and forestry in the Panhandle.
