About this map

Slickpoo and Culdesac are primary focal points in this topographical study of north-central Idaho, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Hamilton Canyon and the surrounding high plateaus. The map documents a complex network of ranching and access roads, including Winchester Grade and Bundy Grade, which navigate the steep elevation changes between the lower canyon floors and ridges like Polly Ridge.

Water plays a central role in the geography of the Nez Perce and Lewis County line, with Mission Cr and Lapwai Cr carving through the terrain. Researchers will find significant local landmarks such as Forest Lawn Cem, the Jacques Spur rail point, and the Longcamp Access Area. This record captures the distribution of rural homesteads and settlements connected by named routes like Mission Creek RD, reflecting the era's transport patterns and the enduring footprint of canyon-country habitation.
