About this map

St. Joe National Forest encompasses this high-elevation Idaho landscape, defined by a series of prominent peaks and the deep drainage of the Little N Fk Clearwater River. The terrain is marked by significant crests including Montana Peak and Snow Peak, which anchor a complex network of ridges such as Hoodoo Ridge and Surveyors Ridge. This 2020 survey illustrates the contemporary management of these wild lands, where recreation and forest access are facilitated by designated routes like Montana Creek Rd and the Buzzard Roost Rd.

Smaller water features like Dismal Lake and Hoodoo Spring provide localized points of interest amidst the steep topography. The presence of specialized trails, such as Butte Ohv and Stubtoe Ohv, highlights the area's modern use for off-highway vehicle recreation within the national forest system. The map serves as a precise record of the hydrologic headwaters for numerous creeks, including Bear Skull Cr and Spotted Louis Cr, as they descend from the Bitterroot Range.
