About this map

The Clearwater River corridor anchors this portion of Clearwater County, where the waterway carves a path through the Idaho landscape toward the southwest. Near the southern bend of the river, the settlement of Greer serves as a focal point, complemented by the Greer Access Area along the banks. Further north, the terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Orofino Creek and Whiskey Creek, which meet near Konkolville.

Evidence of early rural infrastructure and community life is found in the winding routes of Old Deer Creek Grade and Upper Fords Creek Rd, which connect small upland settlements like Brunning, Blake, and Fraser. The Hill Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists studying the families who settled these benches and creek valleys. The map illustrates a typical Idaho river-canyon economy, with development concentrated along the flats of the Clearwater and its primary tributaries.
