About this map

Orogrande sits along the Crooked River in this high-elevation Idaho landscape within the Nez Perce National Forest. The settlement is connected to the outside world via the Orogrande-Dixie Rd and the Orogrande Airport, illustrating the specialized infrastructure required for mountain living. The topography is defined by significant ridges and peaks, including Williams Creek Ridge, Columbia Ridge, and Nipple Mtn, which frame the many drainage systems like Fivemile Cr and Umatilla Cr.

A notable modern landmark is the Clearwater Fish Hatchery, situated near Rainbow Gulch where Relief Cr meets the main river. To the south, the terrain rises toward Orogrande Summit before descending into the expansive Big Creek Meadows. This survey documents a wilderness area where forest service routes like Buffalo Hump Rd provide the primary access to remote peaks and the complex network of creeks that feed the Clearwater basin.
