About this map

The Clearwater River cuts a deep path through Nez Perce County, defining the geography of this Idaho landscape. Along its northern banks, the small settlements of Lenore, Agatha, and Willola sit at the base of steep canyon walls. The terrain transitions from the river valley up to high plateaus like Potlatch Ridge and Amos Bench, where agricultural life is centered around the communities of Leland and Cameron.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features such as the Lenora Cem and family-named routes like Cooks Hollow Rd and Cherry Ranch Ln. The map details a network of steep grades and canyon roads, including Bennett Grade, which navigate the dramatic elevation changes between the river and the surrounding ridges like Cream Ridge. These landforms, including Rattlesnake Point and Wheeler Canyon, illustrate the complex topography that has shaped the region's transport and settlement patterns.
