1969 Map of Three Sisters

About this map

St Joe River winds through the northern portion of this Idaho panhandle landscape, punctuated by several river mile markers and primitive river-side camps. The terrain is defined by the Three Sisters peaks, with notable high points including West Sister Peak, Middle Sister Peak, and East Sister Peak. A Lookout Tower and Radio Facility are situated atop these heights, accessible by a network of steep jeep trails and pack trails that snake across Allen Ridge and Prospector Ridge. Significant for local history and genealogy, a lonely Grave is marked near the Packsaddle Creek drainage. The map documents the primitive infrastructure of the St Joe National Forest in the late 1960s, showing features like a Footbridge near Mile 75 and several named campgrounds such as Turner Flat Campground.
