1994 Map of Texas Ridge

About this map

Texas Ridge and Cedar Ridge dominate this section of the Idaho panhandle, where the land drops away toward the Potlatch River valley. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural society at the edge of the Latah and Nez Perce county line, centered on high-ground settlements and communal meeting points. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Big Bear Ridge Community Hall and several country churches, including Wild Rose Ch and Bethany Ch. The drainage patterns of Pine Creek and Cedar Creek dictate the road network, which follows the natural contours of the ridges to connect isolated farmsteads and cemeteries. This 1990s revision captures the area's enduring agricultural character, where small Gravel Pit operations and scattered mountain springs mark the intersection of human industry and the natural landscape.
