About this map

St. Joe National Forest encompasses the central highlands of this northern Idaho landscape, where the rugged topography is defined by the drainage divide between the Palouse and St. Maries watersheds. The small settlement of Cora anchors the southern reaches near the junction of Cora Rd and Yellow Dog Rd, while the northern section is characterized by the agricultural basin of King Valley.

A network of ridges connects prominent summits including Mission Mtn, Huckleberry Mtn, and Mineral Mtn. For historians and hikers, the map preserves the exact alignment of established routes such as Skyline Dr, the Iron Mtn Trail, and the James E. Dewey Trail. Numerous waterways, such as W Fork Mission Cr and Middle Fork Deep Cr, illustrate the complex drainage patterns that shaped early timber and transit corridors across the Benewah and Latah county lines.
