2017 Map of Emida

About this map

Emida serves as the primary settlement on this North Idaho landscape, situated where Santa Cr and Charlie Cr converge. The terrain is defined by the high ridges of the St. Joe National Forest, including notable summits like Emida Peak, Tyson Peak, and Preston Knob. This area represents a critical watershed where the headwaters of the Potlatch River and the N Fork Palouse River begin their descent. A complex network of forest roads and off-highway vehicle trails, such as the Brown Creek OHV and Hume Ridge OHV, traverses the steep drainages. To the south, the Hoodoo Mountains and landmarks like Bald Mtn and Baby Grand Mtn dominate the horizon along the Benewah and Latah county line. The presence of Excavation Gulch and California Gulch suggests a history of resource extraction within these timbered highlands.
