About this map

St Joe National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in Shoshone County, where a network of prominent ridges and peaks divides the drainage basins of the St. Joe and Clearwater rivers. The terrain is structured by massive landforms such as Montana Ridge and Hoodoo Ridge, with elevations culminating at Montana Peak, Hoodoo Peak, and Snow Peak. These summits overlook a complex system of watercourses, including the Little North Fork Clearwater River and numerous tributaries like Bear Skull Creek and Canyon Creek.

Resource management and recreational access are evident through named infrastructure such as the Avery-Timber Creek Rd and the Nat For Dev Rd 1258. The presence of Montana Springs and Hoodoo Spring near the peaks suggests vital water sources in this steep environment. Notable landmarks like Dismal Lake and Spotted Louis Point provide specific reference points for those tracing historical backcountry routes and forest service development in northern Idaho.
