1967 Map of Rudo

About this map

The Nez Perce Indian Reservation Boundary cuts diagonally through this Clearwater County landscape, marking a significant division between reservation land and the surrounding territory. The drainage of Orofino Creek and its many tributaries, including Camas Creek and Prairie Creek, dominates the northern half of the map with steep, wooded slopes. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more settled agricultural pattern centered around the community features of Fraser Grange, Fraser Park, and the Fraser Cem. Small settlements like Rudo and Cooper are located along the creek valleys and upland ridges, connected by a network of light-duty and unimproved roads. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Cook Creek suggests local resource extraction alongside the established farming and ranching communities of the mid-20th century.
