About this map

St Joe National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by a series of prominent peaks and high-altitude lakes. Centrally positioned, Widow Mtn stands as a primary landmark, flanked by Orphan Point and Lookout Mtn, where Lookout Tower 6789 marks a high vantage point for fire surveillance. The drainage network is complex, featuring the Little North Fork Clearwater River and numerous tributaries like Floodwood Creek and Lund Creek.

Evidence of historical activity is seen at Camp 44 (Site) in the northeast, while the interior is traversed by a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails. These routes connect remote water bodies such as Lost Lake, Crow Lake, and Crater Lake. The presence of Fortynine Meadows and Pinchot Marsh suggests varied upland terrain, reflecting the land management priorities of the late 1960s within the Shoshone and Idaho county line area.
