2020 Map of Saint Joe Baldy

About this map

The Saint Joe Wild and Scenic River snakes across this landscape, carving a deep valley between high ridges in northern Idaho. The small settlement of Omega sits near a prominent bend in the river, adjacent to Turtle Lake and the former transport corridor now marked by Railroad Grade Rd. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by its waterway and timbered slopes, where access is provided by primitive routes such as W Riverside Dr and E Riverside Dr. Higher elevations are punctuated by peaks like Saint Joe Baldy and Reeds Baldy, while numerous drainages including Rochat Cr, Mercury Cr, and Canyon Cr feed the main river system. The presence of Sly Meadows and Hnmiln Meadow suggests small pockets of open land amidst the heavily contoured terrain, offering a clear view of the area's natural drainage patterns and topographical relief.
