About this map

Kooskia occupies the confluence where the South Fork Clearwater River and the Middle Fork Clearwater River meet, serving as a hub for the surrounding ridges and canyons. The settlement is flanked by Mt Stewart and Battle Ridge, with much of the eastern terrain falling within the Clearwater National Forest. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including Miller Cem, Nicodemus Cem, and Pine Grove Cem, indicating established community roots along the riverbanks.

The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the Penny Cliffs and Maggie Bend to the high ground of Kidder Ridge and Tahoe Ridge. Infrastructure like the Kooskia Municipal Airport and the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery reflect the area's continued role in resource management and regional transportation. Numerous named roads like Winona Grade Rd and Kidder Ridge Rd wind through the steep topography, connecting the river valley to upland areas like Grandview.
