About this map

Lake Waha and its surrounding waters dominate this high-plateau landscape south of Lewiston, where the settlement of Waha serves as a central point for local land management. The geography is defined by deep drainage systems, including the headwaters of West Fork Sweetwater Creek and East Fork Sweetwater Creek, which carve through the high ground of Fort Simons Ridge. This 2010 survey illustrates the developed recreation and conservation infrastructure of the Nez Perce County highlands, featuring the Waha Lake Access Area and the nearby Sweetwater Hatchery.

Transitioning from the water-rich northern section to the southern reaches, the map details a network of specialized roads and terrain features like Kruze Meadows. Landmark points such as the Black Pine Campground near the junction of Zaza Rd and Soldiers Meadow Rd indicate the area's importance for public access and forestry. The drainage patterns of Captain John Creek and Browns Creek further illustrate the complex hydrology that feeds the Snake River watershed to the west.
