About this map

Mount Zion Cem sits at a high elevation above the drainages of Sevenmile Cr and Cottonwood Cr, serving as a silent anchor for the local genealogy of this rural corner of Idaho County. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of these waterways and Red Rock Cr, creating a complex series of ridges and draws that dictate the placement of secondary roads.

Historical transit routes are visible through the path of Old Stites Stage Rd, which winds across the central sections, and Reservation Line Rd to the south. These roads, along with others like Fort Misery Rd and Luke's Gulch Rd, reflect the rugged utility of the terrain. The presence of Threemile Cr in the southeast further emphasizes the seasonal and permanent water sources that have shaped land use and property boundaries in this section of the Nezperce region.
