About this map

The Clearwater River carves a significant northern boundary for this Nez Perce County landscape, marked by the sharp turn at Harpers Bend and the presence of Snells Island. The settlement pattern is defined by the community of Peck near the confluence of Big Canyon Creek, and the upland areas of Melrose and the German Settlement to the west.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in this 2010 record, including the Old Good Hope Cemetery, Peck Cemetery, Melrose Cemetery, and Angel Ridge Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and winding grades, such as Copenhagen Ridge Rd and Angel Ridge Grade, which navigate the elevation changes between the river valley and the high plateaus. The presence of Thompson Dam on Little Canyon Creek further illustrates the local management of water resources in this part of Idaho.
