About this map

High-altitude logging and forest management patterns emerge across the St Joe National Forest in this late-1960s survey, updated with mid-1980s aerial data. The terrain is defined by its significant drainage networks, where the North Fork and Stony Creek carve through the steep topography of Grice Ridge. Evidence of backcountry operations is visible at Camp 40 (Site) and Freezeout Camp, while the presence of the Freezeout Lookout atop Freezeout Mtn highlights the area's role in fire surveillance.

Resource extraction and transit are represented by scattered Gravel Pit locations and a network of 4wd tracks that follow the ridgelines. The map also delineates the boundary between Shoshone Co and Clearwater Co, which passes through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. High-country meadows like Stony Creek Meadows and prominent summits such as Windy Peak and Castle Rock provide key navigational landmarks for those studying the Idaho backcountry.
