2010 Map of Juliaetta

About this map

Potlatch River and Clearwater River dictate the settlement patterns of this Latah County landscape, where deep canyons and steep grades separate the river valleys from the surrounding plateaus. The town of Juliaetta serves as a central hub along the riverbanks, while the neighboring settlement of Kendrick sits to the northeast at the confluence with Big Bear Creek. The area is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes, necessitating an extensive network of specialized roads like Sperry Grade, North Juliaetta Grade, and Old Bear Grade. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of burial sites across the high ridges and valley floors, including American Ridge Cemetery, Juliaetta Cemetery, and Kendrick Cemetery. Near the southern boundary, the terrain levels out at the river bend near Cherrylane, where the Clearwater River broadens around Fir Island and against the steep face of Fir Bluff.
