2011 Map of Kooskia

About this map

Kooskia sits at the dramatic confluence where the South Fork Clearwater River and the Middle Fork Clearwater River join to form the main stem of the Clearwater River. This 2011 survey documents the valley's complex road network, including steep mountain routes like Adams Grade and Winona Grade Rd, which negotiate the elevation gains of Kidder Ridge and Harris Ridge. The map detail reveals a landscape defined by water and infrastructure, from the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery along Clear Creek to the Kooskia Municipal Airport south of town. Genealogists can locate several burial sites throughout the rugged terrain, including Miller Cemetery, Nicodemus Cemetery, and Grandview Cemetery near the settlement of Kidder. Notable river features such as Maggie Bend and the Penny Cliffs highlight the winding course of the Middle Fork as it cuts through the Idaho wilderness.
