About this map

The St Joe River carves a winding path through this portion of the St Joe National Forest in Shoshone County, Idaho. This 1995 survey illustrates the preserved corridor of the St Joe Wild and Scenic River, where the water transitions through a network of major tributaries including Gold Creek, Simmons Creek, and Mosquito Creek. The landscape is dominated by high-altitude ridgelines and peaks that served as critical observation points for forest management, most notably Conrad Lookout Peak and Black Jack Peak.

Strategic passage through this mountainous terrain is centered at Conrad Crossing, a key point for navigating the river valley. The map details complex landforms like Quartz Ridge and Junction Ridge, along with family-named or descriptive landmarks such as Beetle Hump and Whitetail Peak. This survey provides an essential look at the primitive road and trail networks that supported the United States Forest Service operations and backcountry access in the late 20th century.
