1995 Map of Santa

About this map

The Maries River valley and its surrounding timberlands are the focal point of this late-20th-century topographic record of Benewah County. The settlement of Santa serves as a small hub at the confluence of several mountain drainages, supported by local infrastructure like the nearby Water Towers and the Sewage Disposal Pond. Historically significant sites like Renfrew Cemetery and the river-side community of Mashburn provide anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of this Idaho panhandle region. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the St Joe National Forest, where topography is mapped with precision across Pettis Peak and the high spine of Beaver Ridge. This map reflects the long-standing land management patterns of the Boise Meridian, showing the integration of small riverside settlements within the protected forest boundary during the 1990s.
