2024 Map of Nezperce

About this map

The Lewis County Courthouse anchors the settlement of Nezperce, where a tidy grid of streets like Pine St and Maple St gives way to the expansive agricultural plateaus of northern Idaho. This modern topographic study reveals a landscape defined by the deep incisions of Lawyer Creek and its tributaries, which carve through the high prairie. To the west of the town center, the Nezperce Cem and the Nez Perce Municipal Airport mark the community's edge before the terrain drops sharply into the winding Lawyer Canyon Rd corridor. Southward, the small locality of Dryden sits near the crossing of Lawyer Creek, while the prominent rise of Big Butte stands as a significant landmark in the southeast. The map illustrates a network of rural roads, including Old Hwy 7 and Yellow Bull Rd, that connect isolated farmsteads across the undulating coulees and draws such as Syron Draw.
