About this map

Surveyors Ridge and Mallard Peak dominate this high-elevation divide where the St Joe National Forest meets the Clearwater National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainages and peaks, including the prominent Lookout Tower on the ridge and another Lookout at the summit of Mallard Peak. A network of high-country lakes like Heart Lake, Skyland Lake, and Blue Lake sit tucked beneath granite features like Crag Peak and Wasset Peak.

This 1963 field-checked survey reveals the complex hydrologic divide between the Sawtooth Creek basin and the southern Isabella Creek system. Significant landmarks such as Isabella Point and East Sister provide orientation across the steep slopes. The map traces the Boundary line that marks the county division between Shoshone and Clearwater counties, offering a precise view of this wilderness area's geography before later decades of management.
