About this map

The Snake Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through this borderland, separating Asotin County, Washington, from Nez Perce County, Idaho. This river corridor is a site of significant cultural and ecological preservation, notably containing sections of the Nez Perce National Historical Park and the Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery. The landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes where high plateaus like Montgomery Ridge drop into the river canyon through a series of steep draws and canyons, such as Short Canyon, Thiessen Canyon, and Buffalo Draw.
