2011 Map of Stanford

About this map

Stanford and Nora serve as the primary settlement points in this pocket of Latah County, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage network of the Big Bear Creek system. The terrain transitions from the upland heights of Stanford Point down into valleys carved by the Middle Fork Big Bear Creek and the West Fork Big Bear Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates a rural infrastructure centered on agriculture and timber, with a grid of named roads like Pleasant Hill Rd and White Pine Flats Rd providing access to the more remote ridges and creek bottoms. The presence of features like Clay Pit Rd suggests local extraction industries, while the numerous small tributaries, including Spring Valley Creek, Bergs Creek, and Nora Creek, underscore the hydrological importance of this region to the larger Clearwater River watershed.
