2024 Map of Gifford

About this map

Gifford sits atop the high plateau of Nez Perce County, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages like Rattlesnake Canyon and Pickle Canyon that carve through the agricultural tablelands. This region of Idaho shows a legacy of settlement patterns tied to the land and ethnic heritage, most notably at German Settlement in the southeastern portion of the map. The road network, including names like German Settlement Rd and Chas Rosenkrantz Rd, points to the family-led development of these rural uplands. For genealogists, the map locates important local landmarks such as Gifford Cem and Lookout Cem. Moving toward the northern edges, the terrain shifts significantly as the elevation drops toward Maggie Creek and Licks Creek, punctuated by prominent features like Amos Bench and Angel Ridge.
