1969 Map of Fishhook Creek

About this map

The St Joe River corridor defines the northern edge of this Idaho mountain landscape, where the tracks of the C M St P & P railroad followed the water's path through the St Joe National Forest. This late 1960s survey documents a terrain shaped by resource extraction and transit, noting an unnamed Mine and a nearby Prospect along the steep slopes of Fishhook Creek. The drainage system is intricate, featuring numerous named tributaries like Theriault Creek, Williams Creek, and Horsecamp Creek that cut through the high ridges. Landmark elevations such as Flemming Point, Jacksons Knob, and Bonehead Hill provide reference points for the area's verticality, while Brebner Flat offers a rare level bench above the creek valleys. A network of jeep trails provides the primary interior access, connecting these remote drainage basins and localized industrial sites like the Gravel Pits in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
