2011 Map of Dent

About this map

Dworshak Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Clearwater County area, where the massive Dent Bridge spans the water near the settlement of Dent. The terrain is defined by a series of steep benches and creek drainages, including Whiskey Creek, Canyon Creek, and Indian Creek. Family names and local history are preserved in the road network and landmarks, such as Wells Bench Rd and the Huckleberry Butte area. Genealogists will find the Wells Cemetery and Weseman Cemetery situated among the high ridges, while smaller locales like Best Corner and Hansberg mark intersections of rural travel. The map illustrates a region where timber and topography have long shaped human movement, from the winding path of Elk River Rd to the more isolated stretches of Loseth Rd and Grangemont Rd.
