1943 Map of Boehls Butte

About this map

St Joe National Forest and Clearwater National Forest meet in this 1930s survey of the high country spanning the Shoshone and Clearwater county line. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Little North Fork Clearwater River and the West Fork St Joe River, where human presence is marked primarily by fire lookouts and isolated shelters. From Boehls Butte and Bertha Hill Lookout to Boat Mtn Lookout, these stations provided a strategic network for wilderness monitoring before modern aerial surveillance.
