About this map

Cora sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the agricultural flats meet the rising timberlands of the St Joe National Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems, most notably Mission Mtn and Huckleberry Mtn, which overlook the complex network of the Mission Cr forks. This area in Latah and Benewah counties shows a distinct transition from the valley floor at King Valley to the high ridges traversed by Skyline Dr.

Evidence of the region's land use is visible in the placement of the Mountain Home Grange near the southern boundary, a traditional hub for the local farming community. To the northeast, Mineral Mtn suggests the area's geological history, while numerous forest roads like Pigeon Hollow Rd and Cowboy Country Rd provide access through the dense topography. The map detail effectively captures the relationship between the remote homesteads near Cora and the vast protected wilderness of the national forest.
