2013 Map of Alder Creek Flats

About this map

Alder Creek Flats serves as a central reference point in this timber-rich portion of northern Idaho, where the drainage systems of the Saint Maries River and its various tributaries define the local geography. Much of the southern and central terrain is dominated by the St Joe National Forest, a landscape marked by significant elevation changes at landmarks like John Point. The map illustrates a network of forest and local access roads, such as Alder Creek Rd and the N Fork Santa Creek Rd, which provide access to more isolated areas and small clusters like Hollywood. The presence of numerous named drainages, including Carlin Cr, Happy Cr, and Cherry Cr, highlights the intricate watershed management and natural topography that have long influenced the region's development and land use patterns.
