About this map

Tahoe and Big Cedar occupy a landscape defined by the intersection of the Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest. The 2017 survey reveals a network of forest development roads and specialized infrastructure, including the Clear Creek International Airport positioned along the southern drainage of Clear Creek. Settlement patterns are concentrated along high ground, with Tahoe Ridge and Crane Hill providing geographic orientation for the local road system.

Local history and genealogy interests are served by the presence of Tahoe Cemetery near the northern boundary and the naming of School House Road, which points to former educational sites. The map documents the complex drainage of the Middle Fork Clearwater River and its numerous tributaries, such as Big Cedar Creek and Little Cedar Creek, which carve through the timbered terrain. Notable landmarks like The Horn and Potato Hill offer distinct topographic references for researchers studying land use and access in Idaho County.
