About this map

Lewiston Orchards serves as the primary residential hub at the northern edge of this study, where suburban expansion meets the deeply incised basalt plateaus of Nez Perce County. The landscape drops sharply from the agricultural flats into the Snake River canyon, a major geographical boundary between Washington and Idaho. This 1958 survey, updated with 1972 aerial revisions, captures the transition from settled orchard lands to the steep, dissected drainages of Tenmile Canyon and Short Canyon.

Tracing the path of Tammany Creek, the map reveals essential community landmarks such as the Tammany School and the Upper Tammany Cemetery. Local infrastructure and land use are further detailed through the Lolo Substation, the Nez Perce County Farm, and numerous quarries. The rugged southwestern portion of the sheet is dominated by prominent geographic features like Weissenfels Ridge and Pigeon Roost, illustrating the difficult terrain along the river's eastern banks.
