About this map

The Clearwater River serves as the focal point for this region, where the North Fork joins the main stem near the bustling settlement of Orofino. This 1994 revision, based on earlier aerial photography, illustrates a landscape defined by the steep descent from the Camas Prairie and Central Ridge toward the river valley. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, from the winding path of the Gilbert Grade to the Camas Prairie Railroad following the water's edge.

Institutional and community landmarks are particularly well-represented, including the Idaho State Corr Inst State Hospital North and the Orofino High Sch. For those researching family history or rural land use, the map identifies specific points such as Gilbert Ch, Central Ridge Cem, and the former location of Russell (Site). The map also delineates the extensive boundaries of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation and parts of the Nez Perce National Historical Park.
