About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this portion of Nez Perce, Lewis, and Idaho Counties, creating a dramatic Oxbow in the southeastern corner. This landscape is defined by its significant relief, where the heights of Hoover Point overlook a complex network of drainages including Deer Cr, Maloney Cr, and a series of numbered streams like First Cr, Second Cr, and Third Cr. High-elevation pockets like Larabee Meadows provide a contrast to the steep canyons leading down to the river.

Evidence of rural land management is seen in the sparse road network, with Deer Creek Rd and Marek Rd serving the uplands. The intersection of county lines—Nez Perce, Lewis, and Idaho—converges here, highlighting the jurisdictional boundaries that meet along the ridges and watercourses. The map captures the rugged interior of the state before the heavy modernization of later decades, preserving the names of local geographic landmarks used by generations of ranchers and outdoorsmen.
