About this map

Saint Marys River winds through the southern portion of this Idaho landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements including Santa, Renfrew, and Wayland. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages such as Soldier Cr, Beaver Cr, and Tyson Cr that feed into the river valley. Higher elevations are marked by prominent landforms like Pettis Peak in the north and Wilson Mtn overlooking the Elkhorn Meadows to the east.

Transportation through these timberlands relies on established routes like Bigelow Mill Rd and Thorn Creek Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing connection to forestry and local transit. The map details the transition from high ridgelines, such as Beaver Ridge, down to the river flats where the community of Flat Creek is located. This 2020 survey provides a modern view of these rural Benewah County locales, showing the persistent footprint of mountain valley habitation along the river corridor.
