About this map

St Joe National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape along the border of Benewah and Shoshone counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Beaver Mountain, Santa Peak, and Renfro Peak, which are connected by high ridges such as Gold Ridge and Blackwell Hump. A defining landmark of the quadrangle is the Crystal Peak Lookout, situated at a significant elevation to monitor the surrounding timberlands.

A complex drainage system of named creeks, such as Hugus Creek, Mica Creek, and Garrison Creek, carves through the forest, illustrating the natural water management of the Idaho panhandle. The presence of the 9th Standard Parallel North and an Indefinite Boundary reflects the technical challenges of surveying this steep, remote environment. This mid-1990s record documents the forest's network of springs and peaks before the onset of modern landscape shifts.
