About this map

The settlement of Fernwood anchors this portion of Northern Idaho, situated where the Saint Maries River flows through the dense timberlands of the St. Joe National Forest. The landscape is defined by its significant relief, rising from the river valley to prominent heights like Green Mtn, Willow Peak, and Sunset Mtn. The boundary between Benewah and Latah Counties runs across the southern portion of the sheet, cutting through the Hoodoo Mountains.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through a complex network of forest roads and off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails. Named routes such as Emerald Butte Ohv, Red Gem Ohv, and the Moolock Conn Ohv provide access to the area's interior peaks and drainages. The naming conventions for local features, including Garnet Gulch and Emerald Butte, suggest a history tied to the mineral wealth of the Idaho panhandle's mountain ranges.
