2013 Map of Limekiln Rapids

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of the Pacific Northwest, serving as the border between Washington and Idaho. The small settlement of Rogersburg sits at the significant confluence where the Grande Ronde River joins the Snake, a location marked by a series of named whitewater features including Captain Lewis Rapids and Limekiln Rapids. This area, where Asotin and Nez Perce counties meet, is defined by dramatic elevation changes from the riverbanks up to Montgomery Ridge and Gold Hill. The transport network is sparse, centered on the Snake River Rd and the Rogersburg Airport, reflecting a landscape dominated by its watercourses and steep gulches like Fisher Gulch and Green Gulch. Further south, the river remains the focal point with Negro Head Rapids and Wild Goose Rapids creating natural landmarks for navigation along the state line.
