2020 Map of Texas Ridge

About this map

Texas Ridge dominates this northern Idaho landscape, where high plateaus are carved by the winding course of the Potlatch River. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations including Huffman Ridge, Big Bear Ridge, and Cedar Ridge, each separated by drainages like Big Bear Cr and Pine Cr. This 2020 survey illustrates a rural upland environment largely structured by long-established section lines and ridge-top roads such as Big Bear Ridge Rd and Texas Ridge Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly useful for identifying small community anchors, including the Bethany Cem, Elwood Cem, Wild Rose Cem, and Gold Hill Cem. The boundary between Latah Co and Nez Perce Co runs through the southern portion of the quadrangle, marking the transition between these two jurisdictions amidst the rugged breaks of the river canyon.
