About this map

The Palouse River winds through this northern Idaho landscape, carving a valley that defines the local settlement pattern of the 1990s. The company-town heritage of Potlatch is visible through its structured street grid and proximity to the Burlington Northern railroad, while the smaller community of Onaway sits just across the water to the east. This area serves as a critical gateway to the surrounding timberlands, evidenced by the presence of the Palouse Ranger Station.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain rises toward landmarks like Farber Point and Ball Butte. The map details the rural infrastructure of Latah County, including Potlatch Junction and Kennedy Ford, where secondary roads and rail lines intersect. These features, along with several scattered Windmill sites and Gravel Pit operations, reflect a landscape balanced between established residential hubs and active resource management.
