1967 Map of Fletcher

About this map

Fletcher serves as the primary settlement hub in this 1967 Idaho survey, situated on the high prairie ground above a series of deep, branching canyon systems. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the agricultural plateaus and the steep drainages of Big Canyon Creek and Sixmile Canyon. This topography created a natural boundary between Nez Perce and Lewis Counties, which follows the winding course of the creek beds. A notable concentrated area of interest for genealogists is the Fletcher Cemetery, located just north of the town center. The map reveals a rural economy dependent on the land, marked by isolated structures and a Gravel Pit south of town. The intricate network of smaller drainages, such as Holes Creek and the distinctively named Posthole Canyon, highlights the erosive forces that have carved the Nez Perce Indian Reservation landscape into its modern form.
