About this map

The Clearwater River carves a deep valley through this northern Idaho landscape, where high plateaus like Angel Ridge and Central Ridge overlook the water. The settlement of Peck occupies a strategic bend near the mouth of Big Canyon Cr, while the smaller community of Melrose sits on the higher ground to the south. This terrain is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, with numerous canyons such as Nichols Canyon and Sixmile Canyon cutting toward the river valley.

Genealogists will find several burial sites including Peck Cem, Angel Ridge Cem, Melrose Cem, and the Old Good Hope Cem near the western boundary. Local infrastructure is reflected in specialized routes like the Old Peck Grade and Gerdie School Rd, illustrating how early residents navigated the steep breaks of the Clearwater country. The map also documents the convergence of several county lines, marking the intersection of Nez Perce, Clearwater, and Lewis counties.
