2014 Map of Emida

About this map

Emida sits at the northern edge of this high-country landscape, where the St. Joe National Forest dominates the terrain of Benewah and Latah counties. The map captures a complex drainage system flowing away from prominent summits like Emida Peak, Tyson Peak, and Bald Mtn. To the south, the Hoodoo Mountains separate the northern waters from the headwaters of the N Fork Palouse River, which is flanked by named ravines such as California Gulch and Moscow Gulch. This 2014 survey illustrates a region defined by its timber and topographic height, with roads like Palouse Divide Rd and Bald Mountain Rd providing access to the deep interior. The placement of Preston Knob and Little Bald Mtn further highlights the varied elevations that have shaped local forestry and land use for generations.
