The Milwaukee Road in Idaho: A Guide to Sites and Locations is a detailed listing of notable sites and former locations of the Milwaukee Road in Idaho including both the east-west main line and all the branch lines. Tunnels, trestles, stations, sidings, historical event locations, and disaster sites are all included. It contains specific data for locating each site or location, relevant background information, geographical data, historical explanations and first-hand descriptions obtained through on-site visits by the author, consultations with former Milwaukee railroaders, civil engineers, historians, pioneers and the descendants of many of those who worked on these right-of-ways. Railroad milepost data, site elevations, and trail and road locations are also included.

The book was designed to be a field guide for those who traverse any part of The Route of the Hiawatha that crosses Idaho, and notes relevant features of that USFS hiking and biking trail. Topographic quadrangle map references are noted. Useful appendices include chronological notations, a resource bibliography, and an index.
