1967 Map of Orofino West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Orofino serves as the primary hub along the northern bank of the Clearwater River, where the town's development in the late 1960s is marked by institutional landmarks like State Hospital North and the Orofino High School. The landscape transitions sharply from the river valley to the high tablelands of Central Ridge, a transition defined by steep drainages including Little Canyon Creek and Nichols Canyon. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the Municipal Airport near Riverside to the dispersed settlements at Gilbert and the former Russell. Genealogists will find notable value in the location of the Riverside Cemetery and Central Ridge Cemetery, which anchor the small upland communities. The map also illustrates the engineering required to traverse this vertical terrain, most notably the winding road labeled Grade descending from the plateau toward the river.
