2020 Map of Calder

About this map

Calder serves as the central hub for this portion of the St. Joe National Forest, situated along the winding course of the Saint Joe Wild and Scenic River. The settlement is defined by its relationship with the water and the complex logging and access routes that permeate the surrounding mountains. Significant elevation changes are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Lemonade Peak, Spooky Butte, and Billy Goat Hill. The landscape is deeply dissected by a dense network of drainages, including Trout Creek, Mica Creek, and Jack Cr, which feed into the main river channel. Transport is dictated by the river valley, with St Joe River Rd and Potlatch Rd providing critical connections through this timbered territory. The map illustrates a contemporary view of the region's managed forest lands and the persistent importance of the river corridor for both travel and geographic orientation.
