2024 Map of Saint Joe

About this map

The Saint Joe Wild and Scenic River carves through the heart of the St Joe Mountains, defining the geography and history of this northern Idaho corridor. Along its banks, the settlement of Saint Joe sits near the confluence of Bond Creek and the river, reflecting a landscape shaped by both natural waterways and early 20th-century transportation. The map reveals the path of the Old Milwaukee Road RR Grade, a significant relic of transcontinental rail history that follows the northern shore of Urquhart Lake and passes through Whitetail Flats. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Honey Jones Peak and the Honey Jones Ridge, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the peaks and draws surrounding Fitzgerald Peak. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the enduring imprint of the Milwaukee Road and the complex drainage systems of Falls Creek and Mineral Creek in Shoshone County.
