2013 Map of Syringa

About this map

The settlement of Syringa lies along the banks of the Middle Fork Clearwater River in central Idaho, marking a vital corridor through the mountains. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by the convergence of the Clearwater National Forest and the Nez Perce National Forest, where steep drainages such as Pete King Cr and Yakus Cr flow toward the river valley. The river itself features noted navigational hazards including Indian Rapids and Big Hill Rapids, while the surrounding heights are marked by distinctive landmarks like Jungle Point, Higgins Hump, and Walde Mtn. The transport network relies on US Hwy 12 and a system of forest development roads such as Smith Creek Rd, which provide access to remote high points like Smith Saddle and the Wild Goose Campground.
