2013 Map of Waha

About this map

Waha sits at the heart of this high-plateau landscape, where the terrain breaks sharply into complex drainages and ridges. The presence of the Sweetwater Hatchery and the Waha Lake Access Area near Lake Waha points to a geography defined by water management and conservation. To the south, Craig Mtn and Ft Simons Ridge overlook a network of seasonal and permanent creeks, including the W Fork Sweetwater Cr and Captain John Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern transition from agriculture to recreation, with labels for the Black Pine Campground and remote meadows like Kruze Meadows and Benton Meadows. The infrastructure of the Webb Cr Canal and local mountain routes like Snow Grade reveal how the local population has navigated and utilized this elevated territory within Nez Perce County.
