2013 Map of Juliaetta

About this map

Potlatch River canyon walls define the geography of this northern Idaho landscape, where the settlements of Kendrick and Juliaetta occupy the valley floor. The map documents the dramatic elevation shifts between the high, fertile agricultural grounds of American Ridge and Fix Ridge and the river basins below. This 2013 survey shows a high concentration of cemeteries including American Ridge Cem, Kendrick Cem, Juliaetta Cem, and Leland Cem, which serve as vital anchor points for local genealogical research. To the south, the terrain descends toward the confluence area near Cherrylane, where the river reaches the Clearwater River and its distinctive landforms like Fir Island and Fir Bluff. The network of gulches, including Brady Gulch and Hubbard Gulch, illustrates the complex drainage patterns that shaped the early road systems and property boundaries in this corner of Latah and Nez Perce Counties.
