About this map

Lewiston Orchards serves as the primary residential hub in this corner of Nez Perce County, situated where the high plateau begins its dramatic descent toward the water. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the structured residential grid of the north—featuring landmarks like the Lewis and Clark Memorial Gardens—to the deep, carved drainages of the south. The Snake River cuts through the southwest corner, forming the state boundary between Washington and Idaho and creating distinct riverfront features like Ackerman Bar.

Tracing the path of Tammany Cr reveals how the terrain dictates movement, with roads like Tammany Creek Rd and Tammany Rdg following the natural contours of the land. High-elevation features such as Weissenfels Ridge and Big Bench overlook a series of steep ravines, including Tenmile Canyon and Short Canyon. Local heritage is anchored at the Tammany Cem, located along Waha Rd as it leads toward the more open country of the southern canyons.
