2017 Map of Southwick

About this map

Potlatch Ridge and Teakean Butte dominate the landscape of the northern Nez Perce and western Clearwater county line, marking a region of high plateaus and deep drainages. Small settlements like Southwick, Cavendish, and Teakean are connected by a network of local roads such as Cavendish Hwy and Cream Ridge Rd, reflecting a rural economy built on the terrain's natural contours. The southern edge of the map is defined by the Clearwater River, where the elevation drops significantly from the surrounding heights of Cream Ridge and Big George. Local history is anchored by sites like Sunnyside Cem, which sits near the steep descent toward the river valley. The intricate creek systems, including Bedrock Cr and Louse Cr, have carved significant features like Wheeler Canyon, illustrating the geological forces that shaped this corner of Idaho.
