About this map

Juliaetta and Kendrick sit as the primary hubs of activity along the winding Potlatch River canyon, marking a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes between high agricultural plateaus and deep river valleys. The 1990 survey captures the area’s complex topography, where the Nez Perce Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the southern half of the quadrangle. High ground like American Ridge and Potlatch Ridge is dotted with small family-interest sites including American Ridge Cem and Leland Cem.

The confluence of the Potlatch River with the Clearwater River at the southern edge of the map highlights a vital corridor for transportation and settlement, anchored by the community of Cherrylane. Genealogical researchers can locate several distinct burial grounds, such as the Juliaetta Cem and Kendrick Cem, which serve as anchors for the rural communities established along the ridges and gulches above the river breaks.
