About this map

Sanders sits at the intersection of rural timberlands and agriculture in northern Idaho, just north of the Benewah Co Latah Co border. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the open drainages of Hangman Cr and Mineral Cr into the protected timber of the St Joe National Forest to the south. Local heritage is centered around the two burial grounds, Mountain View Cem and Sanders Cem, which serve the families along Sanders Rd and Old Sanders Rd.

The southern half of the quadrangle rises toward significant heights like Prospect Peak and Holaki Knob, where the terrain becomes increasingly steep and road-sparse. Historical land use is evident in the naming of Treasure Gulch and the rugged overlooks at Nehchen Bluff and Marsh Hill. A network of Forest Service routes, including Nat For Dev Rd 3300 and Crane Point Rd, provides the primary access into these deep canyons and ridges.
