2017 Map of Potlatch

About this map

Potlatch and neighboring Onaway serve as the primary population centers in this northern Idaho landscape, where the Palouse River winds through a complex network of timber and agricultural land. The map illustrates the transition from the rolling hills of the Palouse to the edges of the St. Joe National Forest in the northeast. Transportation is anchored by the convergence of routes at Potlatch Junction, while a dense grid of rural roads like Kennedy Ford Rd and Flannigan Creek Rd connect outlying farmsteads and timber tracts. Local history is anchored by several sites of interment, including Freeze Cem, Mendenhall Cem, and Rock Creek Cem, which sit near the forks of E Fork Rock Cr and W Fork Rock Cr. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive high points such as Ball Butte and Farber Point, overlooking the drainages of Deep Cr and Gnat Cr.
