2017 Map of Red Ives Peak

About this map

The Saint Joe River winds through the high-elevation terrain of St. Joe National Forest, a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek drainages in northern Idaho. This 2017 survey details the complex topography of the Bitterroot Mountains, where prominent summits like Simmons Peak, Red Ives Peak, and Needle Peak dominate the skyline. The map reveals a network of Forest Service infrastructure, including St Joe River Rd and specialized routes such as Nat For Dev Rd 320. Significant recreational and navigational landmarks are noted, from the waters of Swimming Bear Lake to established paths like the Broken Leg Trail and Elbow Ridge NRT. The area is carved by numerous tributaries, including Wahoo Cr, Indian Cr, and Red Ives Cr, reflecting a wilderness preserved for timber and watershed management.
