1961 Map of Kendrick

About this map

The Potlatch River carves a deep course through the basalt plateaus of northern Idaho, anchoring a landscape where river-bottom settlements like Kendrick and Juliaetta contrast with the high agricultural ridges above. This 1961 field-checked survey illustrates the transition from the timbered uplands of Burnt Ridge and Little Bear Ridge to the fertile expanses of the Camas Prairie in the south. The Northern Pacific Railroad follows the winding river valley, serving as the vital corridor for the area's grain and timber economy.
