1994 Map of Sanders

About this map

The settlement of Sanders serves as a small hub in this north Idaho landscape, where the northern border of the Coeur D'Alene Indian Reservation meets the vast timberlands of the St Joe National Forest. This 1994 revision, based on 1980s and 1990s aerial photography, captures a complex boundary region where the Benewah and Latah County line intersects with protected lands. Along the western edge, the Mary Minerva Mc Croskey Memorial State Park traces the ridge lines, providing a contrast to the industrial logging and resource extraction implied by the Gravel Pit near the headwaters of Hangman Creek. The topography is defined by prominent high points like Prospect Peak and Holaki Knob, which overlook a network of drainages including Mineral Creek and Smith Creek. These watercourses reveal the rugged drainage patterns that historically dictated movement and land use across the Idaho Panhandle's forested interior.
