2011 Map of Merry Creek

About this map

The Middle Fork Saint Maries River defines the southern boundary of this high-country landscape, where a complex network of forestry roads and remote drainages converge. In the early 21st century, this region in Shoshone County remains characterized by its rugged topography, anchored by Swan Peak in the northeast and significant transit points like Davies Pass and Hobo Pass. The Merry Creek drainage system, including the West Fork Merry Creek and Ashenfelter Creek, dominates the central terrain. These waterways are mirrored by numerous named creeks such as Two Bit Creek, Flewsie Creek, and Gramp Creek, which illustrate the density of the local watershed. Recreational and logistical access is noted via the Merry Creek Access Area, while the St Joe NFD 301 provides a primary route along the river valley floor.
