2024 Map of Clarkia

About this map

Saint Maries River carves through this northern Idaho landscape, where the borders of Benewah, Shoshone, and Latah counties meet. The settlement of Clarkia anchors the southeastern corner, serving as a gateway to high elevations like Clarkia Peak and Cedar Butte. To the northwest, the community of Fernwood sits near the confluence of Finn Creek and the river, while Emerald Creek marks a central point of intersection for the local drainage system. The map reveals an extensive network of forestry and recreational paths, including the Garnet Stone OHV Trl and Tailings OHV Trl, which suggest a history of resource extraction and modern land use. High peaks such as West Elk Peak and East Elk Peak overlook the deep valleys of Childs Creek and Staples Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that define this timber-rich region.
