2011 Map of Peggy Peak

About this map

The Saint Joe River cuts through the northeast corner of this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the Fly Flat Campground serves as a small point of human activity amidst a dense network of mountain summits. The terrain is defined by a series of named peaks that served as critical points for early fire lookout surveys, including Peggy Peak, Mosquito Peak, and Granite Peak. A labyrinth of drainages, such as Beaver Creek and Bad Bear Creek, feeds into the larger river systems, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Bitterroot mountains. Access through this region is provided by forest routes like the Avery-Timber Creek Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 303, which connect isolated features like Twin Lakes to the valley floors. The naming conventions, from Club Foot Ridge to Papoose Creek, reflect the region's long history of backcountry exploration and resource management.
