2011 Map of Syringa

About this map

The settlement of Syringa sits at the confluence of Little Smith Creek and the Middle Fork Clearwater River, serving as a primary access point into this Idaho County landscape. At the time of this 2011 survey, a complex network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 460 and Smith Creek Rd, provided routes through the high ridges and deep drainages. High points like Walde Mountain, Jungle Point, and Big Hill define the horizon, while smaller features like Smith Saddle and Higgins Hump suggest the area's history of local naming and navigation. The presence of the Smith Mine on Placer Creek points to the region's mineral history, while the Wild Goose Campground near Docker Creek marks the area's transition into a destination for river-based recreation.
