About this map

The St Maries River winds through the heart of the Idaho Panhandle in this 1990 survey, showing the intersection of timber and mining landscapes. The small settlement of Clarkia is positioned near the Ranger Station and Sewage Lagoons, serving as a hub for the surrounding mountainous terrain. Evidence of heavy industrial activity is clear along the West Fork, where significant Dredge Tailings mark the valley floor, indicating a history of mineral extraction.

Transport and recreation are centered around the river corridor, featuring Jims Spur and several developed sites such as the Cedar Creek Campground and Emerald Creek Campground. The landscape is defined by prominent summits including West Elk Peak, East Elk Peak, and Clarkia Peak. This map provides a detailed view of the regional topography and the specific infrastructure supporting the remote communities of Shoshone, Benewah, and Latah Counties.
