About this map

St Joe National Forest dominates this landscape along the boundary of Shoshone and Clearwater counties. The 1981 mapping records a wilderness area characterized by high peaks and significant water systems, most notably the northern reaches of the Dworshak Reservoir and the North Fork Clearwater River. While human settlement is sparse, the map identifies specific historical sites and seasonal outposts such as Mary Mix Cabin (Site), Last Inch Camp, and Floodwood Camp.

Tracing the drainages of Breakfast Creek and Floodwood Creek reveals the infrastructure of forest management and early recreation, including the Little North Fork Campground and the Gaging Station on the river. High-elevation landmarks like Pinchot Butte and O'Donnell Peak provide a clear view of the ridge systems, such as Woesner Ridge and Stocking Meadows Ridge, that defined the travel routes and survey boundaries of this northern Idaho interior.
