1995 Map of Fernwood

About this map

St Maries River winds through the northern reach of this 1990s-era survey, where the settlement of Fernwood sits at the base of Green Mountain. This section of the St Joe National Forest is defined by a dense network of timbered peaks and creek drainages, including the prominent heights of Hoodoo Mountain and Nakarna Mountain. The landscape reveals a history of resource extraction, evidenced by Dredge Tailings along the eastern valley floors and several prospects scattered among the ridges. High-elevation landmarks like Sunset Mountain and Emerald Butte overlook the Benewah and Latah county line, which cuts through the southern forest. Researchers can trace the winding path of Palouse St Maries Rd as it connects the river valley to the more remote interior basins like those of Carpenter Creek and Emerald Creek.
