2024 Map of Texas Ridge

About this map

Texas Ridge rises between the deep canyons of the Potlatch River and the rolling uplands of Latah County, defining a landscape of high plateaus and steep drainages. The area is marked by a legacy of rural settlement, evidenced by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds including Elwood Cem, Wild Rose Cem, and Bethany Cem. These sites, often located near prominent landforms like Huffman Ridge and Bean Hill, suggest the long-standing agricultural and timber foundations of the community. The southern portion of the map follows the winding course of the Potlatch River as it nears the boundary between Latah and Nez Perce counties, where Potlatch Ridge and Cedar Ridge overlook the confluence of smaller tributaries such as Cedar Creek and Rock Creek.
