About this map

Orofino sits at the northern edge of this Clearwater County landscape, where the Orofino Creek meets the dramatic bend of the Clearwater River. The area is defined by the steep transition from the river valley to the expansive highland flats of Camas Prairie and Lewis Prairie. This 1994 revision reflects a geography deeply tied to its transit history, showing the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail winding through the Nez Perce Indian Reservation.

Evidence of local industry and community life appears in the numerous resource and recreation markers, from the Quarry and Gravel Pit near the river to the Golf Course south of town. Notable infrastructure like the Gilbert Grade illustrates the engineering required to navigate this territory. Researchers can also locate the small settlement of Fraser and a local Cem in the upland areas, providing points of interest for genealogical study within the reservation boundaries.
