About this map

Elk River serves as the primary settlement in this northern Idaho landscape, surrounded by a complex network of forest roads and watercourses. The local infrastructure is anchored by the Elk River Airport and the waters of the Elk Cr Reservoir, while the town itself is situated near the junction of several key routes including Dent Rd and Landing Rd. Genealogists will find the Three Pines Cem located just south of the town center, a significant marker for local family histories.

The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Shattuck Butte and Anderson Ridge, which oversee a drainage system comprising Morris Cr, Johnson Cr, and Bull Run Cr. Clearings like Christianson Meadows and Robideaux Meadows break the dense timberland, indicating traditional areas of grazing or camp activity. This modern survey captures the enduring character of a logging and recreation community, documented through its residential streets and the surrounding backcountry.
