About this map

St. Joe National Forest dominates this section of the Idaho panhandle, where the high ridges of West Dennis and East Dennis rise above a complex network of mountain drainages. The landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, from the heights of Charles Butte and Fairview Knob down to the recessed floors of Bedrock Gulch and Cabin Gulch. This 2014 survey documents the area's dual role as a timber resource and recreational destination, evidenced by the North-South Ski Bowl and primitive sites like Cedar Grove Camp.

The boundary between Benewah Co and Latah Co cuts across the center of the map, following the divide between the Santa Creek and Meadow Creek watersheds. In the southern portion of the sheet, Smith Meadows and the expansive Chetche'mch'm Meadow provide rare level ground amidst the steep terrain. A legacy of forestry and land management is visible in the system of forest roads, including White Pine Drive and Tetaw Ridge Road, which trace the contours of the high country.
