About this map

Pinchot Butte rises as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape within the St. Joe National Forest, where the border of Shoshone and Clearwater counties divides the drainage basins. The area is defined by its network of modern forest access routes, including Freezeout Rd and various specialized paths like the Freezeout Ohv and Trapper Ohv. These routes provide access to the steep interior terrain near Coopers Saddle and the western edge of the Bitterroot Mountains.

Hydrological patterns dominate the southern portion of the map where Stanton Cr and Breakfast Cr flow toward the northern reaches of the Dworshak Reservoir. The small settlement of Boehls sits near the reservoir's edge, serving as a rare point of human habitation in a region otherwise characterized by timber management and technical backcountry travel. The survey details the complex system of drainages, from the W Fork Floodwood Cr to the smaller Goat Cr, that feed the larger river systems of Northern Idaho.
