About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Clearwater River and the main Clearwater River serves as the focal point of this late 20th-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the massive Dworshak Dam and Power House, which holds back the waters of the Dworshak Reservoir. This engineering feat significantly altered the local geography, creating a series of access points such as the Big Eddy Recreation Site and the Freeman Creek Recreation Site.

Settlement is concentrated at Ahsahka, positioned near the Dworshak National Fish Hatchery. The map highlights the boundary of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation and commemorative sites like the Lewis-Clark Canoe Camp State Park, grounding the modern infrastructure in its deep indigenous and exploratory history. To the east, the terrain rises toward Eureka Ridge, while several smaller waterways like Freeman Creek and Dicks Creek feed into the reservoir system.
