About this map

The Saint-Joe-River snakes through this northern Idaho landscape, defining the northern geography of Benewah County. Along its banks, small settlements and landings like Silvertip Landing and Ramsdell point to the historic importance of the river for transport and access. The terrain transitions from the water-rich lowlands of Goose Heaven Lake to significant elevations such as Negro Brown Hill and Shay Hill, where the land becomes a network of creek drainages including Benewah Creek and Cherry Creek.

Aviation and recreation are anchored by the Sky Island Ranch Airport and the Round Lake Access Area, indicating a mix of private land use and public natural spaces. Indigenous place names such as Hn'a'yqhn Bend and Ch'mi'wes Flat appear alongside local landmarks like Parker Pass and Rocky Point, providing a layered cultural perspective on the regional topography as it stood in the early 21st century.
