About this map

The Joseph Plains dominate the central landscape of this Idaho County region, bordered by the deep carve of the Salmon River to the north. In the early 21st century, the small community of Boles remains a primary point of reference in this remote high-country terrain. The drainage patterns of the plains are etched by numerous seasonal and year-round streams, including the uniquely named Home Sweet Home Cr, Burnt Cr, and Cottonwood Cr.

Topographic details reveal a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the riverbanks at White House Bar up through steep corridors like Long Canyon and Ruggles Gulch. Transportation is limited to narrow routes such as Billy Creek Rd and Flynn Creek Rd, which provide access to the dispersed homesteads and agricultural tracts that characterize the settlement pattern of this part of the Nez Perce country.
