2017 Map of Masonia

About this map

Wardner and Masonia sit at the northern edge of this high-elevation terrain within Shoshone County, where the landscape is defined by the steep drainages of the St. Joe Mountains. The map documents a complex network of forest roads and trails that traverse the divide between the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and the St. Joe National Forest. Notable summits like Wardner Peak, Kellogg Peak, and Lemonade Peak tower over a series of narrow gulches, including McLaren Gulch and the ominously named Deadman Gulch. Steep creek beds such as Nabob Cr, Blue Eagle Cr, and Pine Cr cut through the timbered slopes, reflecting the region's rugged geography. This survey provides a modern look at the remote interior of the Idaho Panhandle, tracing established routes like the Coeur d'Alene Divide NRT 8 and St Joe Divide NRT across the ridge lines.
