About this map

The Clearwater River carves a deep valley through this Idaho landscape, marking a significant portion of the boundary between Idaho County and Clearwater County. Steep canyons define the geography, most notably Six Mile Canyon, which funnels the waters of Sixmile Creek toward the river. This 2013 survey illustrates a high-plateau agricultural and ranching environment, where long, straight road systems like Alpine Road and Weber Road grid the tablelands, while winding routes such as Woodland Grade Road descend the sharp relief of the river breaks.

Water sources such as Fivemile Creek, Effie Creek, and Lolo Creek drain the surrounding heights, creating a complex network of draws and ridges. Local family-named thoroughfares, including Lauby Road, Hamilton Road, and Koepl Road, indicate long-standing land divisions and rural homesteads. The convergence of Us-12 along the river corridor highlights the historic importance of the Clearwater as a primary transportation artery through this section of the state.
