2017 Map of Buzzard Roost

About this map

The Little North Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through the high country where the St. Joe National Forest meets the Clearwater National Forest. This remote Shoshone County terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including the lookout at Buzzard Roost and the sharp profile of Joker Peak. The map highlights a network of forest service roads and numbered tracks, such as Indian Dip Rd and Co Rd 700, which provide the only access to the area's many tributaries. Drainage patterns are intricate, with Minnesota Creek, Bear Creek, and Devils Club Creek feeding into the main river valley. Notable landmarks like the Devils Pulpit, Devils Lake, and Indian Dip name specific geological features used by foresters and hunters to navigate this wilderness along the Shoshone and Clearwater county boundary.
