2010 Map of Nezperce SE

About this map

Mount Zion Cemetery sits at the northern edge of this Idaho County landscape, serving as a significant genealogical landmark in a region defined by its high plateau and deep-cut drainages. The area is characterized by a series of parallel waterways, including Sevenmile Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Threemile Creek, which flow through the rolling agricultural terrain. Historically vital routes such as the Old Stites Stage Rd crisscross the sheet, suggesting a transport network that once linked remote homesteads and higher elevations to regional centers. These stage roads and local passages like Lukes Grade Rd and Milt Springs Rd illustrate the early infrastructure developed to navigate the topographical challenges of the Nez Perce region. The map provides a clear picture of the rural road grid and waterway system used by families in the early 21st century.
