About this map

The Saint Joe River flows along the northern edge of this drainage-heavy landscape, joined by numerous northern gulches including Olson Gulch, Roundhouse Gulch, and Coddington Gulch. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals an intricate network of forest roads and waterways within Shoshone County, defined largely by the central corridor of Fishhook Creek and its many tributaries. Notable elevations such as Flemming Point, Bonehead Hill, and Jacksons Knob overlook the deeply carved valleys.

Transportation through the drainage basins relies on historical routes like Siberts Old River Rd and the Avery-Timber Creek Rd. The density of named local features, from Brebner Flat to Lick Creek Point, suggests a landscape shaped by long-standing naming conventions of early settlers and forest managers. The map records a series of distinct watersheds, including those of Kelly Creek, Siwash Creek, and the West Fork Fishhook Creek, illustrating the natural hydrography before modern changes.
