About this map

The Potlatch River winds through deep canyons and sharp ridges as it descends toward its confluence with the Clearwater River at Cherrylane. This 2017 survey documents the rugged landscape of the Idaho Panhandle, where the settlements of Juliaetta and Kendrick are tucked into the river valley. The map reveals a distinct pattern of upland plateaus, such as American Ridge and Potlatch Ridge, which are separated from the water by steep grades and gulches like Brady Gulch and Hubbard Gulch.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted across these highlands and valleys, including American Ridge Cem, Kendrick Cem, Juliaetta Cem, and the remote Leland Cem. The transportation network is a mix of river-level streets like Railroad ST and Main ST in the canyon towns, contrasted with winding access routes like Mccary Grade and Sperry Grade RD that climb the surrounding canyon walls.
