About this map

Crystal Peak and the high ridges of Benewah County define this landscape of the Idaho Panhandle, where timber management and forestry access have shaped the modern era. The drainage patterns of Hugus Creek and Mica Creek are central to the terrain, with numerous logging and forest development roads like St Joe NFD 148 Rd and Evergreen Ridge Rd following the natural contours.

Named summits including Renfro Peak, Beaver Mountain, and Santa Peak serve as prominent landmarks across this mountainous sector. The network of smaller waterways, such as Adams Creek and Pollard Creek, suggests a landscape deeply defined by its watershed. Researchers can trace the complex logistics of the regional timber industry through the naming of spurs and ridges like Gold Ridge and Blackwell Hump, reflecting a period of active resource management in the early 21st century.
