About this map

Zaza sits atop the high plateau of Nez Perce County, representing a remote settlement node within the expansive heights of Craig Mtn. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage systems, where numerous creeks including Eagle Creek and Captain John Creek carve deep into the terrain. This 2024 survey captures the intricate network of ridgelines and upland pastures such as Benton Meadows and Larabee Meadows, which have historically supported local ranching and land use.

Transportation through this isolated section of Idaho relies on winding routes like Zaza Rd and Corral Creek Rd, which navigate the steep descent toward the Snake River breaks. Notable geographic markers like Frye Point and the prominent Wapshilla Ridge serve as primary anchors for orientation. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for water sources like Roberts Spring, essential for understanding the seasonal movement and habitation patterns in this corner of the state.
