1995 Map of Merry Creek

About this map

The Middle Fork St Maries River and its numerous tributaries, including Merry Creek and Corbett Creek, carve through the complex topography of the Clearwater Mountains in this 1995 revision. The settlement of Clarkia sits near the southwestern corner, adjacent to a Sawmill and Gravel Pit, highlighting the area's ongoing connection to timber and resource extraction. Evidence of the region’s transportation history is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade Historical Trail and sections of Old RR Grade that wind through the St Joe National Forest. High-altitude points such as Swan Peak and passes like Hobo Pass and Davies Pass define the ridgelines, while The Incline suggests the steep engineering required for early industrial access. This map effectively documents the intersection of active forestry and historical infrastructure within the Clearwater National Forest.
