2017 Map of Weippe North

About this map

Weippe Prairie dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the settlement of Weippe serves as a hub for local roads like W Pierce Ave and 8th Ave E. The terrain transitions into a complex network of timbered ridges and creek drainages to the north, characterized by steep elevation changes near Orofino Creek Point. Evidence of the region’s logging and milling heritage is visible through the location of Johnsons Mill along Hjalmer Johnson Rd, as well as the small northern settlements of Haley and Omill. Significant watercourses including Jim Ford Cr, Orofino Cr, and Grasshopper Cr carve through the topography, while high meadows such as Shake Meadow provide distinct clearings among the forested hills. This survey documents the intersection of rural residential life and the industrial resource roads that define the Clearwater County backcountry.
