2017 Map of Widow Mountain

About this map

The high peaks and forest drainages of the St. Joe National Forest define this 2017 survey of the Idaho backcountry. Centered on Widow Mountain, the terrain is characterized by steep ridges and high-elevation basins such as Crater Lake and Fish Lake. A notable industrial artifact remains at the Splash Dam on Delaney Creek, a reminder of historical logging methods used to transport timber downstream. The map documents an extensive network of access routes, from established forest roads like the Outlaw Creek Road to remote paths including the Lookout Mountain Trail #52 and the Flatiron Stinger OHV route. High meadows such as Forty-nine Meadows and Fortune Meadows sit near the eastern boundary, while landmarks like Orphan Point and Long Hike Peak provide orientation across the complex drainage systems of the Little North Fork Clearwater River.
