The Saint Maries River valley serves as the central artery for this part of Benewah County, Idaho, where several small settlements are connected by a network of drainage-following roads. The town of Santa and the neighboring hamlet of Renfrew sit at the junction of the river and Santa Creek, while Fernwood occupies the southeastern reach near the Elkhorn Meadows. The rugged topography is defined by high points like Pettis Peak and Wilson Mtn, with many smaller communities such as Mashburn and Wayland established along the lower elevations of Beaver Creek and the river. Genealogists can identify the local Riverview Cem located between Santa and Fernwood. The landscape shows a clear pattern of land use where forestry and mountain access roads, including Tramm Creek Rd and Pokey Creek Rd, pierce the dense mountain ridges of Beaver Ridge.
