2020 Map of Park

About this map

Park and Linden sit amidst a complex network of ridges and drainages in this upland region of northern Idaho. The landscape is defined by its deep watercourses, including Three Bear Cr and its many tributaries like Bedbug Cr, which carve through the high ground of Tamarack Ridge and Norwegian Ridge. The boundary between Latah, Nez Perce, and Clearwater counties intersects here, illustrating how these early administrative lines were drawn across the high divides and creek bottoms of the Clearwater River watershed. Forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 1963, crisscross the area, tracing the routes established for timber access and land management. Further south, the settlements of Crescent and landmarks like Gold Hill provide focal points for historical research into the rural development of this territory, where isolated homesteads were linked by winding paths like Cedar Ridge Rd and Three Bear Rd.
