About this map

The Saint Maries River carves through this northern Idaho landscape at the intersection of Shoshone, Benewah, and Latah counties. The settlement of Clarkia sits near the southern edge, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its waterway networks and high timbered ridges. Traces of early 21st-century infrastructure are visible through the extensive network of National Forest Development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 447 Rd and Emerald Creek Rd, which provide access to the area's remote peaks.

Prominent summits including Clarkia Peak, West Elk Peak, and Bechtel Mountain overlook the drainage basins of Emerald Creek and Cedar Creek. Recreation sites like the Cedar Creek Campground and Emerald Creek Campground reflect the area's continued use for public land access. Smaller landmarks like Jims Spur and the various forks of the river illustrate the complex topography that historically shaped local movement and settlement patterns in this part of the Panhandle.
