About this map

Lewiston Orchards defines the northern plateau of this Idaho landscape, where a dense residential grid meets the dramatic descent toward the Snake River. The settlement pattern here is dictated by the terrain, with roads like Thiessen Rd and Waha Rd following the natural contours of the land above the river. Notable local landmarks for genealogical research include the Nez Perce County Farm and Tammany Cemetery, which offer points of connection to the area's early community history.

To the south and west, the terrain breaks into a series of deep drainages including Short Canyon and Homestead Canyon. These features, along with Big Bench and Pigeon Roost, illustrate the geographic complexity of the Nez Perce County highlands. Along the river's edge, Ackerman Bar and the mouth of Tenmile Creek mark the transition from the high orchards to the water level, providing a detailed record of the region's hydrography and landform names in the early 21st century.
