2017 Map of Montana Peak

About this map

St. Joe National Forest encompasses this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the headwaters of the Little N Fork Clearwater River cut deeply through steep ridges. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Montana Peak, Hoodoo Peak, and Snow Peak, which provide the topographical framework for numerous drainage systems like Rutledge Cr and Spotted Louis Cr. The drainage patterns suggest a primitive wilderness character, though the presence of the Butte OHV trail and Buzzard Roost Rd indicates recreational access into the high country. Near the northern boundary, Dismal Lake and Hoodoo Spring serve as notable water features amidst the heavily contoured slopes of Bear Skull and Montana Ridge. This map documents the complex hydrologic network that feeds into the Little N Fk Clearwater in a region characterized by its high relief and lack of permanent settlements.
