About this map

The Saint Maries River carves a winding path through this corner of Benewah County, serving as the central geographic feature for several small settlements and transportation corridors. Small communities such as Santa, Wayland, and Mashburn are positioned along the river and the adjacent rail line, reflecting a historical development pattern tied closely to the valley floor. To the southeast, the Tyson Creek Station and Renfrew mark additional points of interest along this riparian corridor.

The landscape is defined by significant elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks toward Wilson Mountain and Pettis Peak. Numerous tributaries, including Soldier Creek, Beaver Creek, and Renfro Creek, feed into the river system. Notable landmarks like Ts'e'itm Rock and the Al Vanderpool Picnic Area provide specific points of reference within the timbered terrain, while Beaver Ridge looms over the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
