2024 Map of Green Knob

About this map

Little Potlatch Creek carves a deep north-south corridor through this landscape on the border of Latah and Nez Perce counties. The terrain is defined by elevated plateaus and steep grades, most notably Fix Ridge and the prominent Green Knob summit. Settlement patterns are characterized by family-named roads and remote burial sites, which suggest a long history of dryland farming and ranching on the high ground above the canyons. Genealogists will find several specific local landmarks, including the Overacker Cem near Wardrobe Ln and the Maggie Williams Cem further south. The network of winding routes like Coyote Grade and Genesee-Juliaetta Rd follow the natural topography, connecting the disparate homesteads and ridges that overlook Catholic Creek and Howard Gulch.
