About this map

The Lewis Co and Idaho Co border area, as it appeared in the late 1960s, is defined by the deep incisions of Lawyer Creek as it winds through the high plateau. This entire landscape resides within the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, where the drainage patterns of Nezperce Creek and Long Hollow Creek reveal the complex topography of the Nezperce National Forest vicinity. Local history is anchored by the Holy Trinity Cem and Meadow Cr Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The presence of a Gravel Pit and multiple Quarry sites near Meadow Creek indicates the small-scale extractive industries that supported the local road network and agricultural infrastructure of the era.
