2013 Map of Buzzard Roost

About this map

St. Joe National Forest and Clearwater National Forest meet in this 2013 survey of the Idaho interior. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Little North Fork Clearwater River, which winds through the center of the sheet. Notable high points like Buzzard Roost, Joker Peak, and the Devils Pulpit overlook a network of creeks including Sawtooth Cr and Mulligan Cr. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by remote outposts such as Chicadee Cabin and Trappers Cabin. The boundary between Shoshone County and Clearwater County bisects the area, following the ridges near Getaway Point. This map provides a detailed look at the hydrology and terrain of the Bitterroot region, capturing the remote character of the backcountry before the modern era of development.
