1995 Map of Widow Mountain

About this map

Widow Mountain and its surrounding peaks define this portion of the Idaho panhandle during the mid-1990s, where the high-altitude terrain is managed as part of the St Joe National Forest. The landscape is characterized by a complex drainage system feeding into the Little North Fork Clearwater River, with numerous small lakes such as Crow Lake and Fish Lake tucked into the upper basins. This map captures the intersection of forestry management and recreation, highlighted by the Lookout Mountain National Recreation Trail which traverses the ridgelines near Lookout Mountain. To the south, the Floodwood State Forest and the wetland environment of Pinchot Marsh offer a distinct ecological contrast to the rocky summits. A specialized Electronic Snow Gage near the mountain peaks reflects the critical role of these highlands in regional watershed monitoring.
