About this map

The timbered slopes and creek drainage systems of northern Idaho define this 2017 survey, where the St. Joe National Forest encompasses the high ground of the southeastern quadrant. The small settlement of Benewah is situated along Benewah Creek Rd in the north, serving as a focal point for a network of forest and access roads that wind through the complex topography. Significant elevations include Moses Mtn, which towers over the southern portion of the map, and two prominent gaps in the ridgelines: Windfall Pass and Lolo Pass.

Hydrological patterns are central to the landscape, with numerous watercourses such as Benewah Cr, Hangman Cr, and N Fork Alder Cr carving through the terrain. The presence of roads named after local families and landmarks, such as Baune Rd, Fletcher Rd, and Osterberg Rd, provides evidence of long-standing land use and property ownership within the mountain valleys. This survey effectively documents the intersection of public forest lands and private rural holdings.
