About this map

The Saint Joe River carves a deep path through this section of the Idaho Panhandle, serving as the primary corridor for access and recreation in the early 21st century. High-altitude points such as Red Ives Peak and Simmons Peak dominate the skyline, while the presence of the Simmons Lookout and Broken Leg Forest Cabin reflects the region's long-standing reliance on Forest Service infrastructure for management and fire oversight.

Lower-elevation points of interest include the Beaver Creek Campground and Spruce Tree Campground, marking established nodes for travelers. The network of drainage systems, from Red Ives Creek to the curiously named Swimming Bear Lake, illustrates the intricate hydrology that feeds the river system. This map captures a landscape defined by its remote peaks and the vital forestry roads, such as Simmons Tower Rd, that link these isolated summits.
