About this map

Jackson Mountain and Mc Gary Butte dominate this upland landscape along the border of Latah and Clearwater counties. The map documents a terrain defined by complex water systems, including the Potlatch River and its East Fork Potlatch River, which feed into numerous meadow systems like Bloom Meadows and Oviatt Meadows. These open spaces contrast with the sharp elevation changes of the surrounding timbered ridges.

Evidence of early industrial and recreational activity appears throughout the quadrangle. A historic R.r. Grade follows the natural contours near the river, while a Mine Tunnel and a Radio Tower indicate specific land uses during this era. Local history and recreation are centered at the Latah Co Sheriff Posse Campground, located in the southwest corner near Long Meadows. Settlements like Neva and Kameron anchor the eastern reaches near Squaw Creek, providing reference points for researchers tracing the development of the Idaho panhandle's interior.
