2011 Map of Saint Maries

About this map

Saint Maries sits at the significant confluence where the Saint Maries River joins the Saint Joe River, a landscape defined by water and timber transport routes. The layout of the town and its outlying settlements like Riverdale, Milltown, and Meadowhurst reflect the mid-twentieth-century expansion and industrial organization of Benewah County. Further inland, the map captures a mix of geographic landmarks such as Chat'u'washa'lqs Bluff and Cottonwood Point alongside small water bodies like Swan Lake and Porrett Lake. Local history is anchored at Woodlawn Cemetery and specialized sites like the Saint Maries Municipal Airport. The survey also documents the network of timber-access roads including Hells Gulch Rd and Grassy Mountain Ln, which cut through the steep elevations of Kings Peak and Sharp Top, tracing the development of the region's resource-based economy into the modern era.
