2011 Map of Emida

About this map

Emida serves as the primary focal point in this high-altitude drainage basin, where the Santa Creek and Charlie Creek headwaters meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain peaks and ridges, including Emida Peak, Tyson Peak, and Bald Mountain. To the south, the landscape drops into the watershed of the North Fork Palouse River, a region marked by steep-walled drainages such as Mountain Gulch and White Pine Gulch. This 2011 survey reveals a complex system of forestry and access roads, such as the Palouse Divide Rd and Charlie Creek Rd, which provide passage through the dense timberlands. Local history and geography are reflected in distinctive place names like Strychnine Creek and Baby Grand Mountain, illustrating the legacy of early prospecting and timber operations in this corner of the Panhandle.
