2013 Map of Red Ives Peak

About this map

The Saint Joe River winds through the heart of the St. Joe National Forest, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high mountain peaks. In this 2013 survey of the Idaho panhandle, the terrain is mapped from the heights of Simmons Ridge in the north down to Elbow Ridge in the south. Notable summits like Red Ives Peak and Needle Peak dominate the topography, while smaller alpine features such as Swimming Bear Lake provide specific points of interest for backcountry navigation. The map illustrates a network of forestry infrastructure, including the Simmons Tower Rd leading to the Simmons Lookout. Established recreational sites such as the Beaver Creek Campground and Spruce Tree Campground are situated along the river valley, alongside the Broken Leg Forest Cabin, showing the long-standing management of this wilderness by the U.S. Forest Service.
