About this map

St Joe National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the rugged topography of Northern Idaho is defined by the prominent Grice Ridge. This 1969 field-checked survey documents a wilderness area shaped by logging and forestry management, centered on the Shoshone Co Clearwater Co boundary. The map provides a detailed view of the remote camps and critical infrastructure of the era, including the Freezeout Lookout Tower and Freezeout Camp in the northern reaches, as well as the former Camp 40 (Site) located in the heart of the terrain.

Water sources and drainage patterns are meticulously recorded, from high-altitude points like Windy Peak and Stony Butte down to the winding paths of Glover Creek and Isabella Creek. Local industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits, while natural landmarks such as Castle Rock and White Rock Springs serve as permanent reference points for those tracing the historical geography of this section of the Idaho Panhandle.
