2014 Map of Paradise

About this map

The settlement of Paradise sits at a strategic bend where the Clark Fork river meets the steep slopes of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. This 2014 survey documents the rugged geography of the Lolo National Forest, where the landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Deemer Peak and Henry Peak. The map reveals a network of mountain drainages, including Paradise Gulch and Hugo Canyon, which feed into the valley floor. Transportation patterns are clearly established here, with MT-200 following the river corridor while local routes like Boehler Ranch Dr and Deemer Creek Rd provide access into the timbered uplands. Notable local landmarks include the Paradise Cem and the distinctive wetland of Smiley Slough, illustrating the intersection of human settlement and the complex hydrography of the northern Rockies.
