2024 Map of West Dennis

About this map

The St. Joe National Forest dominates the landscape across the boundary of Benewah and Latah counties. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Dennis Mountain and Fairview Knob, where a network of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 377 and Nat For Dev Rd 1976, navigate the timbered drainages. Small settlements like West Dennis and East Dennis are situated amidst a complex watershed of the Santa Creek and Manning Creek systems. A unique recreational landmark, the North-South Ski Bowl, is positioned on the eastern slopes, indicating the area's transition into a mountain sports destination. To the south, Smith Meadows and the uniquely named Chetche'mch'm Meadow provide clearings within the heavy forest cover, while numerous named gulches like Bedrock Gulch and Cabin Gulch hint at the rugged drainage patterns and historical land use of the Idaho panhandle.
