About this map

The North Fork Clearwater River and the main Clearwater River converge at Ahsahka, anchoring this 1961 survey of Idaho’s Clearwater and Latah counties. This river junction serves as a vital geographic hub, with the Lewis-Clark Canoe Camp State Park marking the historical significance of these waterways. Inland, the high plateaus of the Camas Prairie support a network of small farming and timber communities, including Cavendish, Teakean, and Park.

Evidence of rural life and civic infrastructure is prominent through labels for the Teakean-Cavendish School and the United Brethren Camp. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the steep Potlatch Ridge to the high point at Teakean Butte. This map also documents the Indian Reservation Boundary crossing the agricultural landscape, alongside essential local sites like the Sunnyside Cemetery and the Beaver Dam Recreation Area near Bruce Eddy.
