2024 Map of Weippe North

About this map

Weippe serves as the focal point of this Clearwater County landscape, situated where the Weippe Prairie meets a network of timbered ridges and creek valleys. The area is defined by a historical dependence on the land, visible in the namesake Johnsons Mill and the presence of small settlements like Haley and Omill. A complex web of local roads, such as Battles Mill Rd and Winter Cr Rd, winds through the high country, connecting isolated points like Orofino Creek Point and the low-lying Snake Meadow. Waterways including Orofino Creek, Jim Ford Creek, and Grasshopper Creek carve the terrain, dictating the early paths of travel and habitation. The presence of Mussell Shell at the southern edge of the prairie provides a specific landmark for those tracing the geographic history of this portion of northern Idaho.
