About this map

Clarkia and the surrounding timberlands of the Idaho Panhandle define this 2020 topographical study at the intersection of Shoshone, Benewah, and Latah counties. The Saint Maries River and its W Fork Saint Maries River serve as the primary drainage for this high-country terrain, which is dominated by prominent summits such as Clarkia Peak and West Elk Peak. The map documents a modern landscape shaped by forest management and recreation, evidenced by an extensive network of Forest Service roads including Nat For Dev Rd 447 and Nat For Dev Rd 1948.

Localized landmarks like Emerald Creek and Two Eightone Gulch are situated among specialized recreational routes like the Garnet Stone Ohv and Butte Ohv. Significant vertical features like Cedar Butte and East Elk Peak anchor the topography, while smaller settlements such as Emerald Creek reflect the sparse, resource-oriented population of the region. The map provides precise detail on the winding courses of Finn Cr, Pierce Cr, and Childs Cr as they move through the steep Idaho valleys.
