About this map

The St Joe River corridor dominates the northern edge of this territory, where the settlement of Avery sits at the confluence of several mountain drainages. This high-country landscape within the St Joe National Forest is defined by a dense network of steep ridges and creek bottoms, including Fishhook Creek and its various tributaries like East Fork Fishhook Creek and Sisters Creek. The map reveals a history of resource extraction and land management, indicated by a Mine and Prospect located near Flemming Point and Roundhouse Gulch.

Remote landmarks such as Jacksons Knob, Bonehead Hill, and Shoepack Point provide essential navigation points across the Shoshone County terrain. The presence of numerous 4wd routes and the 9th Standard Parallel North line illustrates the logistical challenges of surveying and traversing this part of the Idaho Panhandle. The small clearing at Brebner Flat stands out as one of the few named level areas in a landscape otherwise characterized by extreme vertical relief.
