2011 Map of Elk River

About this map

Elk River serves as the primary hub of this North Central Idaho landscape, centered around the Elk Creek Reservoir and its associated recreation areas. The town is flanked by the small settlement of Jersey to the south and the Elk River Airport to the north. This 2011 survey documents a topography defined by complex drainage systems, including Shattuck Creek, Morris Creek, and the West Fork Elk Creek, which feed into the central reservoir system. High points like Shattuck Butte and Windy Point overlook a network of timber and access roads such as Elk Creek Basin Rd and Dent Rd. The presence of Christianson Meadows and Robideaux Meadows suggests the diverse land use of the region, where the Elk River Dam manages the local water resources for the surrounding Clearwater County backcountry.
