1994 Map of Buzzard Roost

About this map

St Joe National Forest and Clearwater National Forest meet in this high-elevation wilderness, defined by the rugged interface of Shoshone and Clearwater counties. The landscape is dominated by the Little North Fork Clearwater River, which carves through deep drainages between Clearwater Ridge and Goat Ridge. Notable outposts of human presence include the Chicadee Cabin near the northern boundary and Trappers Cabin tucked into the northeast corner, suggesting a history of backcountry activity in this protected region. Landmark peaks and overlooks such as Joker Peak, Buzzard Roost, and the Devils Pulpit provide significant orientation points within the Mallard Larkins Pioneer Area. This 1994 field check captures the area's intricate drainage system, including Minnesaka Creek and Honey Creek, emphasizing the region's role as a vital watershed within the National Forest system.
