2024 Map of Limekiln Rapids

About this map

The Snake River carves a dramatic boundary through this canyon landscape where Washington and Idaho meet. The confluence of the Grande Ronde River and the Snake serves as the primary focal point, marked by the small settlement of Rogersburg and the nearby Rogersburg Airport. This modern topographic study illustrates the difficult navigation of these waters, naming numerous river features such as Limekiln Rapids, Captain Lewis Rapids, and Nez Perce Rapids. The surrounding high ground is dominated by named elevations like Gold Hill and Lime Hill, while the Snake Wild and Scenic River designation highlights the protected status of this watercourse. For researchers, the map provides a clear view of the sparse road network, including the Snake River Rd, and remote landing sites like Bear Bar along the riverbanks.
