2024 Map of Marble Creek

About this map

The Saint Joe River valley serves as the primary corridor for human activity in this corner of the St Joe National Forest. Small settlements like Herrick, Erlmo, and Marble Creek are situated along the riverbank, tracing a narrow line of development through the steep drainage. A significant historical marker is the Old Milwaukee Road RR Grade, which follows the river's path, indicating the importance of rail transport for the timber or mining industries that once defined this Idaho panhandle region. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks such as Cemetery Ridge and Prince Peak, while the northern portion is dominated by the St Joe Mountains. The land is crisscrossed with numerous specialized paths, including the Daugherty Hill National Recreation Trl and various off-highway vehicle routes like the Mud Cabin-Ohv Trl, reflecting the modern shift toward forest management and recreational use.
