1967 Map of Kamiah

About this map

Kamiah sits at a strategic bend where Lawyer Creek meets the Clearwater River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding plateau and river valley in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river bottom to the high Camas Prairie, navigated by steep routes like the Woodland Grade. This survey highlights the deep cultural roots of the area, notably within the Nez Perce Historical Park and several local burial grounds including Teh La Pa Low Cem and Nikesa Cem. Settlement patterns follow both the water and the heights, with East Kamiah across the river and the community of Winona positioned near the western edge of the sheet. Industrial and transport infrastructure, from the Kamiah Airport to the Tram Road and local Gravel Pits, reflect the region's mid-century economic activities.
