2024 Map of Orofino West

About this map

Orofino sits prominently along the Clearwater River at the northern edge of this modern survey, where the valley floor meets the rising elevations of the surrounding plateaus. The town’s role as a regional hub is evident through the inclusion of the Clearwater County Courthouse and the Orofino Municipal Airport. The landscape transitions from the river valley into the high agricultural and timber lands of Central Ridge, where long-established road networks like Ridgemont Dr and Gilbert Grade connect the river to the upland reaches. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the terrain, including Riverside Cem near the riverbank and the isolated Gilbert Cem and Central Ridge Cem further south. The map documents a complex drainage system defined by Little Canyon Creek and Big Canyon Creek, illustrating the deep incisions these waterways have carved into the local topography.
