1958 Map of Lapwai

Evidence of the area's agricultural and conservation history is clear, from the Lapwai State Game Farm in the south to the winding Coyote Grade and Beardy Gulch in the north. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Soldiers Canyon and Cole Canyon that break away from the plateau toward the river, while Hog Island sits as a distinct landmark in the Clearwater. This survey captures the transition of the region as modernized routes like the Lewis and Clark Highway began to follow the historic watercourses.
