2017 Map of Lindstrom Peak

About this map

The Saint Maries River winds through the heart of the St Joe National Forest in this high-altitude portion of Benewah County. This 2017 terrain study highlights the rugged geography of the Idaho panhandle, anchored by prominent elevations such as Lindstrom Peak and Peterson Point. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including Alder Creek, Johns Cr, and Santa Cr, which carve through the timbered slopes. Small settlements and former station points like Lotus, Rover, and Cardwell are positioned along the primary river valley and creek bottoms, indicating the historical pathways of transport and settlement in these tight corridors. A complex web of forest access routes, such as Peterson Lookout Rd and Ryan Loop, provide the necessary infrastructure for land management and recreation throughout the diverse elevations of the St. Joe region.
