2014 Map of Kooskia

About this map

The Middle Fork Clearwater River and South Fork Clearwater River converge at Kooskia, a river-valley settlement defined by its position at the gateway to the Clearwater National Forest. The local topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes rising from the riverbanks to high points like Kidder Ridge and Tahoe Ridge. Notable landmarks near the town include the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery and Kooskia Municipal Airport, while the smaller community of Kidder sits further north near Church Canyon. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Nicodemus Cem, Miller Cem, and Pine Grove Cem. Steep transit routes like Adams Grade and Winona Grade Rd illustrate the challenging terrain that surrounds the Clearwater valley.
