2024 Map of Waha

About this map

Waha sits at the center of this Nez Perce County landscape, where the plateau terrain descends into deep drainage systems. The hydrography of the region is defined by Lake Waha, along with smaller bodies like Mud Lake and Blue Lake, which contrast with the steep relief of Tenmile Canyon and Fort Simons Ridge. The map illustrates a high-altitude settlement pattern with localized centers such as Kruze Meadows and Benton Meadows situated near the headwaters of Webb Creek and Captain John Creek. Transportation across the ridges is facilitated by a network of rural routes, including Waha Rd and Webb Ridge Rd, while Red Bird Airport serves the higher ground near Redbird Creek. To the south, the massive presence of Craig Mtn dominates the horizon, with the rugged South Fork Captain John Creek carving through the southern sections of the quadrangle.
